I could have run away with a carnival girl
If were not for my foolish pride
Because under the lights of the Ferris wheel
She promised me every prize
Lalalalaaaa lalalalaaaaa
There's not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
I never seem to say quite what I mean
Well I drink too much and I think too much
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn't change for the world
I wouldn't change for the world
Well I sang for my supper
And I sang for my soul
I sang out across the bay
And I've been waiting here for my ship to come in
I know it'll be here some day
Some day soon
Lalalalaaaaa
There's not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
I never seem to say quite what I mean
Well I think too much and I drink too much
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn't change for the world
I wouldn't change for the world
(Solo)
Could have been a carpenter and I could have been a thief
But then again its so hard to say
Cause I sit under the light of the morning sun
And I watch the carnival roll away
Lalala life lalala life
There's not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
I never seem to say quite what I mean
Well I think too much and I drink too much
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn't change for the world
There's not a pretty penny in my old blue jeans
I never seem to say quite what I mean
Well I think too much and I drink too much
And I know it sounds absurd but I wouldn't change for the world
I wouldn't change for the world
I wouldn't change for the world
