Ups And Downs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm just a floozy, an old-fashioned hussy
Trying to kiss you, it hasn't been easy
A lost little puppy dog running away
From the pound
Say
Break all my bones with a stick and a stone
And don't say a word 'cause it's words that'll hurt
And this lost little baby fox running away
From the hounds
Let's say that when they told me you're Russian
How my eyes did widen up
You and Mussorgsky
And ups and downs and ups and downs
Oh I'm just a floozy, an old-fashioned hussy
And ups and downs and ups and downs
Me, you and Mussorgsky could be good
Enough of this fooling, I'm playing for keeps now
Pitching the sheets like a tent on a camp
And a lost little baby lamb
Hoping that he has been found
Won't you hold my hand through all these
Ups and downs
And ups and downs and ups and downs
Oh I'm just a floozy, an old-fashioned hussy
And ups and downs and ups and downs
Me, you and Mussorgsky
And ups and downs and ups and downs
Oh I'm just a floozy, an old-fashioned hussy
Me, you and Mussorgsky
And ups and downs and ups and downs
