Hard times [Topsy-Turvy] lyrics

I'm a striver, from up on Striver's Row

And I'm jivin' the very best to know

But hard times got things topsy-turvy

Oh, Lady Luck is the meanest chick in town

I know it 'cause she brought me down

Hard times got things topsy-turvy

You know, once I had lots and lots of money

And I used to dress up so debonair

But now I'm on my uppers

And tough luck may be, but it won't get in my hair

I'm a striver, from up on Striver's Row

And I'm jivin' the very best to know

But hard times got things topsy-turvy

Aw, Jack

I'm sort of beat my chance now, you, so

You better hit the road

'cause things are still topsy-turvy

Things are gonna be down on the turf now, Jack

'cause things are still topsy-turvy

The Great White Way is a little beat

But things are still topsy-turvy
