Hard Times (Topsy Turvy) |
I’m a striver, from up on Striver’s Row |
And I’m jivin' the very best to know |
But hard times got things topsy-turvy |
Oh, Lady Luck is the meanest chick in town |
I know it 'cause she brought me down |
Hard times got things topsy-turvy |
You know, once I had lots and lots of money |
And I used to dress up so debonair |
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 Striver’s Row |
And I’m jivin' the very best to know |
But hard times got things topsy-turvy |
(Instrumental break) |
Aw, Jack |
I’m sort of beat my chance now, you, so |
You better hit the road |
'cause things are still topsy-turvy |
Things are gonna be down on the turf now, Jack |
'cause things are still topsy-turvy |
The Great White Way is a little beat |
But things are still topsy-turvy |
