[00:00.62]Hey that's my cigar
[00:02.27]You'll steal another
[00:04.24]Hey look it's bath time at the zoo
[00:07.41]I thought that I'd suprise my mother
[00:10.71]If you could find her
[00:12.31]Who asked you
[00:19.56]From Bottle Alley to the harbor
[00:22.71]There's easy pickings guaranteed
[00:26.00]Try any banker bum or barber
[00:29.30]They almost all knows how to read
[00:33.14]It's a crooked game we're playin'
[00:36.34]One we'll never lose
[00:39.58]Long as suckers don't mind payin'
[00:42.77]Just to get bad news
[00:47.11]Ain't it a fine life
[00:48.91]Carryin' the banner through it all
[00:53.55]A mighty fine life
[00:55.58]Carryin' the banner tough and tall
[01:00.23]When the bell rings
[01:02.11]We goes where we wishes
[01:03.61]We's as free as fishes

[01:15.44]No rain oh ho partly cloudy clear by evenin'
[01:18.60]Ha and the limp sells 50 papes a week all by itself
[01:22.06]I don't need a limp to sell papes I've got personality
[01:26.09]It takes a smile that spreads like butter
[01:29.25]The kind that turns a lady's head
[01:32.42]It takes an orphan with a stutter
[01:35.82]Who's also blind
[01:36.79]And mute
[01:37.65]And dead
[01:39.44]Summer stinks and winter's freezing
[01:42.74]When you works outdoors
[01:46.03]Start out sweating end up sneezing
[01:49.21]In between it pours
[01:53.74]Still it's a fine life
[01:55.62]Carryin' the banner
[01:56.74]Still it's a fine life
