[Verse 1]
            G7
Well he's a poker-playing alligator
C
Tattooed, earrings bar[?]
G7
Likes his whiskey on the rocks
        C  
But the claws on his toes always tear his socks
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                G7
He said them ragtime troubles, I've had 'em
C
One time when I was seventeen and sadder
G7
All the Joes used to call me fat
         C
But I'm all grew up and my now jaws go clap
 
 
[Chorus]
F                 G                   C   C7
   Don't let the bad times bring you down
F                G             C
   One day you'll outgrow the town
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G7
Well he's playing stud with the big, bad horses
     C
Got arms like [?] and his voice is coarse
    G7
He likes his bourbon nice and neat
       C     
But he can't wear socks cause he ain't got feet
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                G7
He said them ragtime troubles, I've had 'em
C
One time when I was seventeen and sadder
G7
All the does laughed behind my back
    C
But I grew bigger than the whole damn pack
 
 
[Chorus]
F                 G                   C   C7
   Don't let the bad times bring you down
F                G             C
   One day you'll outgrow the town, alright

[Verse 3]
      G7
Well, come on boy, if you're feeling blue
C
Let it roll and do as you do
G7
I don't know what'll happen to you
        C   
But I'm sure you're the man to fill the shoes
G7
Funny feet, everybody's got 'em
C
Troubles, too, you know we all got 'em
   G7
So let it roll, sing with me now
    C   
And show everybody what they don't know how

              well he’s a poker-playing alligator
tattoed, earrings bar[?]
likes his whiskey on the rocks
but the claws on his toes always tear his socks

he said, them ragtime troubles, i’ve had em
one time when i was seventeen and [sadder?]
all the joes used to call me fat
but i’m all grew up and my now jaws go clap
don’t let the bad times bring you down
one day you’ll outgrow town

well he’s playing stud with the big, bad horses
got arms like [?] and his voice is co-rs-
he likes his bourbon nice and neat
but he can’t wear socks cause he ain’t got feet

he said, them ragtime troubles, i’ve had em
one time when i was seventeen and [sadder?]
all the does laughed behind my back
but i grew bigger than the whole d-mn pack
don’t let the bad times bring you down
one day you’ll outgrow the town

come on boy, if you’re feeling blue
let it roll and do as you do
i don’t know what’ll happen to you
but i’m sure you’re the man to fill the shoes
[funny?] feet, everybody’s got em
troubles, too, you know we all got em
so let it roll, sing with me now
and show everybody what they don’t know, ha!

don’t let the bad times bring you down
one day you’ll outgrow the town
one day you’ll outgrow the town
