Have you got a fine place to slip to
When you're feeling down?
Have you had a week or two
Just to get your troubles down?
Found a lot of life and laughter
With a grandfather in the bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
She had a mind of forty
I met her on a cold day in a city far away

When the world's about zero
And I saw at once into her soul
She's bound to call me her hero

Then like a walk in the rain or the lane
I found a lot of death that day
With the grandfather in the bowery
'Cause I like her like the world

She had a halo of gold
Told me stories of her life
And the courage was sublime
'Cause you're mine, I walk the line
'Cause you're mine, lalala

Tigers and elephants' teeth
Elephants climb the zoo
Monkeys, beggars and thiefs
Little orphan Annies too
Everything under the sun
Could be evened out ??
But if I didn't like it that way
I'd have to change it
Aahaah
