On The Other Side Of The Tracks

On the other side of the tracks

That is where I'm gonna be

On the other side

Of that great divide

Between fame and fortune and me

Gonna put my shadows behind me

Give my inhibitions the ax

And tomorrow morning you'll find me

On the other side of the tracks

On the other side of that line

Where the life is fancy and free

Gonna sit and fan

On my fat divan

While the butler buttles the tea

But for now I'm facing the fences

And I can't afford to relax

While the whole kaboodle commences

On the other side of the tracks

So I'm off and running

Over the rail

I'm going gunning

After the quail

Off and running

Send me the mail

To the great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side

The great big world on the other side of the tracks

On the other side of the tracks

That is where I'm gonna be

On the other other side

Of that great divide

Between fame and fortune and me

I'm gonna put my shadows behind me

Give my inhibitions the ax

And tomorrow morning you'll find me

On the other side of the tracks

On the other other side of that line

Where the life is fancy and free

I'm gonna sit and fan

On my fat divan

While the butler buttles the tea

But for now I'm facing the fences

And I can't afford to relax

While the whole kaboodle commences

On the other side of the tracks

So I'm off and running

Over the rail

I'm going gunning

After the quail

Off and running

Send me the mail

To the great big world on the other side

The great big world on the farther side

The great big world on the other side of the tracks

The other side

The other side

Big o'l world on the other side of the tracks
