What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan,
2
He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow,
3
Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet,
4
To the rhythm that only he knows.
5
And I've seen him in so many places,
6
I saw him the night I was born,
7
In a Bourbon Street bar I received my first scar
8
From an old man so tattered and torn.
9
And the Wino and I know the pains of street singin'
10
Like the door-to-door salesman knows
11
The pains of bell ringin'
12
It's a strange situation,
13
A wild occupation,
14
Living my life like a song.
15
Well the coffee is strong
16
At the Cafe do Monde,
17
And the donuts are too hot to touch,
18
But just like a fool, when those
19
Sweet goodies cool, I ate 'til I ate way too much.
20
Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
21
Be they pastries or lobsters or love,
22
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
23
In a world full of pushin' and shove.
24
And the Wino and I know the pains of backbustin',
25
Like the farmer knows the pain of his pick-up
26
Truck rustin'.
27
It's a strange situation, a wild occupation,
28
Living 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
And the Wino and I know the joys of the ocean,
33
Like a boy knows the joys of his milkshake
34
In motion.
35
It's a strange situation, a wild occupation,
36
Living my life like a song.
