Karaoké Down Low Town Mountain

When you see me out tonight tearin' up the promenade

People stop and step aside so I can move along

Is it just because they're friendly or the fact that I am gone

Steppin' over lines of the paths they travel on

Livin' on the high side

Better keep it on the low down

Get to feelin' just right

Think I'll have to go and sit down

Do you reckon that they notice

Do you think that they believe

I've been gettin' into meanness on the dark end of the street

Do my eyes tell my condition

Does my breath show where I've been

Am I talkin' any louder than the company that I'm in

Livin' on the high side

Better keep it on the low down

Get to feelin' just right

Think I'll have to go and sit down

Sweatin' like a preacher in the presence of the Lord

Shakin' like a leaf in the middle of a storm

Jawin' my bone

Tryin' to make you see

I wouldn't much fret if my friends were all here but there's people in the corner and they're startin' to stare

Havin' a ball pokin' fun at me

Livin' on the high side

Keep it on the low down

Get to feelin' just right

Think I'll have to go and sit down

Livin' on the high side

Straighten up and try to act right

Keep it on the low down
