Carry The One

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.

Well you're damned if you do,

And you're damned if you don't.

Well you're sunk if you will,

And you're a sucker if you won't.

All the good advice I'm getting

Could've drowned tom thumb.

When you get the check,

Don't forget to carry the one.

Why, I assure you something of value

Is more than sentimental,

And any relation to a forgery

Is purely accidental.

You can check all my references,

But it won't be any fun.

When you write the check,

Don't forget to carry the one.

Well, you're were right on the money

But your luck turned on a dime.

And a can of beans at dinner means

A real good time.

Well, I'd love to hear your story, man,

But my trains about to come.

It's three stops to my baby,

Then we won't stop 'til we're done.

Well, you're were right on the money

But your luck turned on a dime.

Now, a can of beans at dinner means

A real good time.

Well, I'd love to hear your story,

But my trains about to come.

It's three stops to my baby,

Now....

Well, you're right on the money

But your luck turned on a dime.

Now, a can of beans at dinner means

A real good time.

Well, I'd love to hear your story, man,

But my trains about to come.

It's three stops to my baby,

Then we won't stop 'til we're done!

This ain't no fire drill;

This ain't no test.

When you see me a-coming,

Better hide under your desk.

Or you'll be counting sheep with abraham

By the time the cops come.

When you get to ten,

Start again and carry the one.

When you get to ten,

Start again and carry the one.

When you get to ten,

Start again and carry the
