The World On A Shoestring Lyrics

I am extraordinarily good at sleeping the day away

I thought with my experience I'd put it on my resume

So here I am unemployed again as broke as I can be

But all I need is this old guitar, an open case, and a crowded street

I've got the world on a shoestring

I've got the world on a shoestring

My head's as full as a Ryder truck, double-parked down the street

All the ideas I've packed away, stack up so nice and neat

But I didn't mark the boxes so don't know where anything is

Paper bags of random facts, taped up dates and laundry lists

I've got the world on a shoestring

I've got the world on a shoestring

If you ain't got money well that's all right honey

I ain't got none too

We can be star crossed, and get our selves lost

And walk down Fifth Avenue

You look so good in your brand new dress but you look good all the time

I love the little pictures that you draw and leave for me to find

And if I had a big apartment I'd frame them on the wall

But what do I need with lots of space I got rent control and you to call

I've got the world on a shoestring

I've got the world on a shoestring

I've got the world on a shoestring

I've got the world on a shoestring
