1974
3
The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan
4
Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow
5
Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet
6
To a rhythm that only he knows
7
And I've seen him in so many places
8
I saw him the night I was born
9
In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar
10
From an old man so tattered and torn
11
Chorus:
12
And the wino and I know the pain of street singin'
13
Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'
14
Strange situation, wild occupation
15
Livin' my life like a song
16
Coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde
17
Donuts are too hot to touch
18
Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool
19
I eat 'til I eat way too much
20
'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me
21
Be they pastry or lobster or love
22
I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy
23
In a world full of pushin' and shove
24
Chorus:
25
And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'
26
Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'
27
Strange situation, wild occupation
28
Livin' my life like a song
29
Sweet senorita won't you please come with me
30
Back to the island honey, back to the sea
31
Back to the only place that I want to be
32
Chorus:
33
And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean
34
Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion
35
Strange situation, wild occupation
36
Livin' my life like a song
37
Yes it's a strange situation, a wild occupation
38
Livin' my life like a song
