Cab Calloway - Scats, Sings & Swings

Hard Times

I'm a striver from up on strivers
Throwing up, jiving
The very best to know but hot times
Got things topsy-turvy

Oh, Lady Luck is the meanest chick in town
I know it because she brought me down
Hot times
Got things topsy-turvy
You know, once I had lots and lots of money
And I used to dress up so dupernly
But now I'm on my uppers
And tough luck may be, but it won't get in my hair

I'm a striver from up on strivers
Throwing up, jiving
The very best to know but hot times
Got things topsy-turvy

Oh, Jack, I'm sort of beefed with my chains now
Yeah, so you better hit the road
Because things are still topsy-turvy
Things are a little beat on the turf now, Jack
Things are still topsy-turvy
The gay white boy is a little beat
But things are still topsy-turvy
