The World Is Round Songtext
von Rufus Thomas

Woo!

The world is round but it′s crooked just the same
I know it is
I said the world is round but it's crooked just the same
Hey, hey
You never, never know just what man that is to blame
No, no, no, listen
The world is round but it′s crooked just the same
Hey, hey
I know the world is round but it's crooked just the same
Everyday

You never, never know just what man that is to blame
No, no, listen


I've got the teacher, I′ve got the preacher, the gamblin′ man
They're all tryin′ to make it on the easy plan
Got the lawyer, doctor, even down to baker
All tryin' to keep up with the undertaker
Chauffeur runnin′ around with nymphs and aquifer girls
The drummer in the band beatin' his way through the world
Preacher in the pulpit jumpin′ up and down
Sister's in the corner cryin', "I′m Alabama bound!"
I said

The world is round but it′s crooked just the same
I know it is
You never, never know just what man that is to blame
No, you never will

Play your guitar Michael
Mmm-hmm
That's alright Michael
Play on brother
Listen, I wanna tell you again now, listen good

I′ve got the teacher, I've got the preacher, the gamblin′ man
They're all tryin′ to make it on the easy plan
Got the lawyer, doctor, even down to baker
All tryin' to keep up with the undertaker
Chauffeur runnin' around with nymphs and aquifer girls
The drummer in the band beatin′ his way through the world
Preacher in the pulpit jumpin′ up and down
Sister's in the corner cryin′, "I'm Alabama bound!"
I said


The world is round but it′s crooked just the same
I know it is
And you never, never know just what man that is to blame
No, no, listen

Can it be the president?

Can it be the vice president?

Can it be the mayor in your town?

Can it be the chief of police hangin' around?
Listen

Never know who′s to blame
Never know who's to blame
You never know who's to blame
You never know who′s to blame
Woah-ho, ha-ha, ha-ha-ha
Woah-ho, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha
Crooked just the same
Crooked just the same

Crooked just the same
Crooked just the same
You never, never know
You never, never know
You never, never know
