singing's a fine lively hood, the only one I got!
Struggled to make the rent sometimes,
since termination of the day jo
Kinda weird my work day starts when the sky is cool and black
But I guess I should figure out on what I should fall back
I could take up auto-body and work in some guy's shop
Fixin' bitchin hotrods,
I sure like cars a lot
Perhaps I'll study law,
be a public defender
But I'll need a lot of Maalox
I couldn't take the pressure
Would you like me for your vet?
Or your docter who examines you?
Lady luck I met
So your ass should say phew!
But I'll just do what I do
cuz I like it a whole lot
Singin's a fine livelihood!
It's the only one I got
