(One, two; one, two three, four...) Now, I'm going out on the town; I've got to lay these burdens down; But they weigh, (Yes, they weigh...) At my feet. (Yes, they weigh...) Now, I'm pacing all around; I got to knock these cobwebs down, But they stay, (Yes, they stay...) Up all day. (Yes, they weigh...) Now it's hard, out on the mean scene; And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' with me. (Alright, Boys...) Wooh! I'm on a long and endless chase, At my slow and even pace; But I try, (Tell me why...) By and By. (Yes, I try...) If the lads come after me, When you find them, strung up by your feet. 'Cause it's a mean scene. I'm tellin ya! Now it's hard, out on the mean scene; And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' with me. Now, listen, it's hard, (woo-hoo-hoo-hoo) Out on the mean scene; And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' for me. Ah, now I'm not lost where I am found; Well, I've been highway bound. And I pray, (Yes, I say...) For feelin' strange. (What'd you say?) Well, I said, Young Love, is Dumb Love; But you're love, is sure love. No, Love, oh, it turned cold, Love. New Love, is True.... Now it's hard, out on the mean scene; And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' with me. Now I tell you, Boy, and it's hard, Out on the mean scene; And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' with me. And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' for me. And it's hot in the city, And it's been hard livin' with me. (Yes, indeed!...) Yodelee-odelell-odellee-eee ahhhhh! (Alright, Boys!)
