On The Other Side of the Tracks
On the other side of the tracks
That is where I'm going to 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 rеlax
’Cause the whole kaboodlе 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 my mail
To that 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
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
'Cause 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 my mail
To that 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
To that great big world
That’ll open wide
To the great big world
On the other side
Of the tracks
