I've Got the World by the Tail
I have no wife and I've got no home
I just live my life alone
I'm always broke, I sometimes land in jail
But I've got something that you don't got
I can't realise I kid you not
I've got the world by the tail
Some folks say there's not a chance
For me to find romance
I'll succeed some day if I don't fail
Then I'd like for you to know
A worried look I'll never show
I've got the world by the tail
I may have lived my life in vain
But I never will complain
If the ship I catch should never sail
I'll shed no tears but wear a smile
That has always been my style
I've got the world by the tail
I just live my life alone
I'm always broke, I sometimes land in jail
But I've got something that you don't got
I can't realise I kid you not
I've got the world by the tail
Some folks say there's not a chance
For me to find romance
I'll succeed some day if I don't fail
Then I'd like for you to know
A worried look I'll never show
I've got the world by the tail
I may have lived my life in vain
But I never will complain
If the ship I catch should never sail
I'll shed no tears but wear a smile
That has always been my style
I've got the world by the tail
