Lyrics: Fredrick James Mullis, Jr.
Music: Fredrick James Mullis, Jr.
Well eeny-meeny-miny-mo
I don't caught a tiger by the toe
He's my dancing partner, don't you know?
Taught me how to do-si-do
Well high, low to and fro'
Just to get my foot inside the door
My toe's getting mighty sore
Came all this way, don't know what for
Fighting this uphill battle
Like a beach bound buccaneer
They're draggled and unsettled
Least one thing's clear
Fighting or falling, it's all downhill
From here
It's all malarkey some near the bar marquee
Sink my feet deep down in the concrete
Deep down in the thick of it
I hope I drown before I get sick of it
Fighting this uphill battle
Like a beach bound buccaneer
They're draggled and unsettled
Least one thing's clear
Fighting or falling, it's all downhill
From here
Fighting this uphill battle
Like a beach bound buccaneer
They're draggled and unsettled
Least one thing's clear
Fighting or falling, it's all downhill
From here
