The Shape I'm In

Go down yonder

Peace in the valley

Go downtown

There's a rumble in the alley

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Has anybody

Seen my baby?

This living alone

Will drive me crazy

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I'm gonna go down by the water

But I ain't gonna jump in

No, no

I'll just be looking for my neighbor

And I hear that's where he has been!

Out of nine lives

I spent seven

Now, how in the world

Am I gonna get to Heaven?

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I just spent 60 days

In the jail house

For a crime

Of having no dough

Now I'm here

Back out on the street

On account of having nowhere to go

Save your neck

Save your brother

Looks like it's just one or the other

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

(You don't know the shape, no you don't know)

(Yeah-ah)

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

(You don't know the shape I'm)

(You, you don't, oh)
