Dead Winter Carpenters - One Foot in the Gutter lyrics

Mr. Jones and his woman they both make me nervous Freshly returned freaks from the circus That's where the money's at with a simese fat house cat The dog can feel the fun stuff- once is never enough One foot in the gutter one fist in the gold I prefer to try than to be sold One foot in the gutter one fist in the gold I'd rather not die before I get old And maybe they are greasy but you know they're first-rate Every time they come visit you always stay up late Say "no" to second helpings and always eat your greens And fasten down the hatches and batten window screens One foot in the gutter one fist in the gold I prefer to try than to be sold One foot in the gutter one fist in the gold I'd rather not die before I get old [instrumental] Old Aunt Agness on the hill, you know she can't buy a thrill But her old man thinks he can, he says he from Iran And she just takes some pills and the bathtub's filled with laundry She smiles when you see her, sitting home alone One foot in the gutter one fist in the gold I prefer to try than to be sold One foot in the gutter one fist in the gold I'd rather not die before I get old
