[Verse 1]
Well eeny, meeny, miny, moe
I done caught a tiger by the toe
He's my dancing partner, don't you know
Taught me how to dose doe

[Verse 2]
We're high, low, to and fro
Just get my foot inside the door
My toes gettin' mighty sore
Came all this way don't know what for

[Chorus]
Fighting this uphill battle like a beach-bound buccaneer
Bedraggled and unsaddled
At least one thing's clear, fighting or falling
It's all down hill from here

[Verse 3]
It's all malarkey, so I'll marry the bar marquee
Sink my feet deep down in the concrete
Deep down in the thick of it
I hope I drown before I get sick of it

[Chorus]
Fighting this uphill battle like a beach-bound buccaneer
Bedraggled and unsaddled
At least one thing's clear, fighting or falling
It's all down hill from here
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Fighting this uphill battle like a beach-bound buccaneer
Bedraggled and unsaddled
At least one thing's clear, fighting or falling
It's all down hill from here
