   The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan,
  He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow;
  Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet,
  To the rhythm that only he knows.
  And I've seen him in so many places,
  I saw him the night I was born;
  In a Bourbon Street bar I received my first scar
  From an old man so tattered and torn.
  
  And the Wino and I know the pains of street singin'
  Like the door-to-door salesman knows
  the pains of bell ringin'
  It's a strange situation,
  a wild occupation,
  Living my life like a song.
  
  Well the coffee is strong
  at the Cafe Du Monde,
  And the donuts are too hot to touch;
  But just like a fool, when those
  sweet goodies cool, I ate 'til I ate way too much.
  Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
  Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
  I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
  In a world full of pushin' and shove.
  
  And the Wino and I know the pains of backbustin',
  Like the farmer knows the pain of his pick-up
  truck rustin'.
  It's a strange situation, a wild occupation,
  Living my life like a song.
  
  Sweet Senorita, Won't you please come with me?
  Back to the island, honey, back to the sea;
  Back to the only place that I want to be.
  
  And the Wino and I know the joys of the ocean,
  Like a boy knows the joys of his milkshake
  in motion.
  It's a strange situation, a wild occupation,
  Living my life like a song.
