The Downtown Downs

The third song for my one-man show about Tiny Tim, Tulip.

LYRICS:

Shall we speak of fame?
Times of great renoun?
I've been up and I've been down
On the whole I prefer down
Shall we talk of luck
My fortunes come and go
There are good times and there are bad
It's the bad times that I know

Ooh the times you know
They're the times you know

Oh when on I'm my up
And fortune seems to smile
I hobnob with the uptown swells
And linger on awhile
And soon I'm on the outs
And fortune seems to frown
I shake hands with my dear old friends
And join the downtown downs

Ooh the times you know
They're the times you know

Shall we talk of fame
Brother I've had some
I signed my names to pictures then
And now, well, I sign none
Does it matter, eh?
It means not a thing at all
I'll always have the downtown downs
At the end of my inevitable fall

Ooh the times you know
They're the times you know
