Here in the jungle I can’t get a break for love nor money The weight of the world Is dragging me down down down The heat in the bubble She’s coming down on everybody You better get up Before the sun goes down I get to slip my skin When my ship came in What a day now! I feel as right as rain But I forgot your name Qu’est-ce que c’est now? These are the glory days For the waifs and the strays You give me love I give you thanks and praise All the way now! What a day now! Don’t let me throw it away! You got the nerve I got the brains We got them crawling up and down On their hands and their knees She as my witness My baby say you’ll do the shake for money? When the weight of the world Is dragging you down down down Near in the distance I see you stumble when the road is rocky You better get up Before the sun goes down I get to slip my skin When my ship came in What a day now! I feel as right as rain But I forgot your name Qu’est-ce que c’est now? These are the glory days For the waifs and the strays You give me love I give you thanks and praise All the way now! What a day now! Don’t let me throw it away! You got the nerve I got the brains We got them crawling up and down On their hands and their knees
