• World Of Trouble

I'm.... in a world of trouble
I don't know what to do
I'm supposed to be one woman's man
But I am in love with two!
One is my treasure
And one is my treat
They are both such a pleasure
'Cause they're both so sweet
I can't put either of 'em down
That's 'awhy I'm slippin' round
'Cause I'm livin' double
I'm in a world of trouble

Yes it's a world of trouble
That I inhabit now
'Cause I've got one more woman
Then the legal laws allow!
Now judges would jail me..
And preachers would shout..
Bad talk would nail me
If the truth got out
Polite society would frown
They would claim that I'm just a clown
Living double. In a world of trouble..
Well now.. I do not dare reveal
This need that I eagerly feel
'Cause to my proper friends..
It would.. scare them.

Don't you know they would
Chalk it up to greed
Oh but what I truly need
Is a new kind of two woman harem!
Now let me tell you I got a
great big world of trouble, yes..
I've got a woman and a wife
And that's the kind of situation
..it could cost somebody's life

Ohh, but I'm gonna bear it
Just as long as I can
No I don't want to share it
with a' no other man
Oh Lord and my future is in a fog
And they call me a dirty dog!
Because I'm a' livin' double
In a world... they got me
peepin' and hidin'.. slippin and slidin'..
duckin and dodgin'..
runnin' down alleys-hidin' in doorways-behind
papers standin' in streetcars- n L Tracks-
and buses and down in manholes and
anywheres I can find em

'cause I'm SCARED TO DEATH!

'Cause I'm in a great big world...

Fellas, don't ya'll feel bad.
Cause we're not the only ones livin' in trouble,double..
The ladies is livin' double.. Some of em livin' triple
Some of em livin'.. quadtriplets.
Some of em livin' quintetted.
And octetted. And a few other "tets."

But we ALL got a great big world...
We're living in a world of trouble... A-All.
