  sözleri;
  
  well, i'm a jitterbug boy, by the shoe-shine
  resting on my laurels and my hardys too
  life of riley on a swing shift, gears follow my drift
  once upon a time i was in show-biz too
  i seen the brooklyn dodgers playing at ebbets field
  seen the kentucky derby too
  it's fast women, slow horses, unreliable sources,
  and i'm holding up the lamp-post if you want to know
  i've seen the wabash cannonball, buddy, i've done it all
  'cause i slept with the lions and marilyn monroe,
  had breakfast in the eye of a hurricane
  fought rocky marciano, played minnesota fats,
  burned hundred-dollar bills, i've eaten mulligan stew
  got drunk with louis armstrong, what's that old song?
  i taught mickey mantle everything that he knows
  so you ask me what i'm doing here holding up the lamp-post,
  flipping this quarter, trying to make up my mind
  and if it's heads i go to tennessee, and tails i buy a drink,
  if it lands on the edge i keep talking to you
