[Verse 1]
Well, I'm [D]a j[Em]itterbug boy,

[Em]Resting on [D]my laurels and
[Bb]my hardys [Asus4]too

[D]gears follow [Em]my drift
[D]Once upon [Em]a time I was in
[Bb]show- [A]biz [D]too[Em][D][Em]
I seen [D]the Brooklyn [Em]Dodgers playing
[D]at [Em]Ebbets Field
[G]Seen the Ken[D]tucky [Bb]Derby [Asus4]too
[A]It's fast wom[D]en, slow hor[Em]ses,
unre[D]liable [Em]sources,
And I'm [D]holding up [Em]the lamp- post
if you [Bb]want [D]to know[Em]
I've seen [D]the Wabash Can[Em]nonball,
[D]buddy, I'v[G]e done it [D]all[Em]
Cause I [D]slept with the [Em]lions
and [D]Marilyn [Em]Monroe,
Had [D]breakfast in the [Em]eye of
[Bb]a hurricane

So you [D]ask me what I'm [G]do ing [Em]here
[D]holding up [Em]the lamp- post,

If it [D]lands on the [Em]edge I keep
