Intro: G C G G C G

G

The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan

He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow

C

Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet

G

To the rhythm that only he knows

Bm C

And I've seen him in so many places

Bm F D

I saw him on the night I was born

D G

In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar

D C G

From an old man so tattered and torn

Chorus:

C

And the wino and I know the pain of street singin'

G

Like the door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'

D C

Strange situation, wild occupation

G

Livin' my life like a song

The coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde

And the donuts are too hot to touch

But just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool

I eat till I eat way too much

'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me

Be they pastry or lobster or love

I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy

In a world full of pushin' and shove

Chorus:

And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'

Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'

Strange situation, wild occupation

Livin' my life like a song

D C G

Sweet sen~orita won't you please come with me

D C G

Back to the island honey, back to the sea

D C D

Back to the only place that I want to be

Chorus:

And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean

Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion

Strange situation, wild occupation

Livin' my life like a song

Yes it's a strange situation, wild occupation

Livin' my life like a song
