Generate meaning
1
Well, I'm a jitterbug boy by the shoe-shine
2
Resting on my laurels and my Hardy's too
3
Life of Riley on a swing shift gears follow my drift
4
Once upon a time I was in show-biz too
5
I seen the Brooklyn Dodgers playin' at Eb bets Field
6
Seen the Kentucky Derby too
7
It's fast women, slow horses, I'm reliable sources
8
And I'm holding up a lamp post if you want to know
9
I seen the Wabash Cannonball, buddy, I've done it all
10
Because I slept with the lions and Marilyn Monroe
11
Had breakfast in the eye of a hurricane
12
Fought Rocky Marciano, played Minnesota Fats
13
Burned hundred-dollar bills, I eaten Mulligan stew
14
And got drunk with Louis Armstrong what's that old song?
15
I taught Mickey Mantle everything that he knows
16
And so you ask me what I'm doing here holding up a lamp post
17
Flippin' this quarter trying to make up my mind
18
And if it's heads I'll go to Tennessee, and tails I'll buy a drink
19
If it lands on the edge I'll keep talking to you
