Everything promised is delivered to you
And tell me the name of the game that you play
Everyone's doin' that rag
The rain gonna come but the rain gonna go you know
Everyone is doin' that rag
Come back here, baby Louise
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Couldn't find any better ones in the mornin' at three
All the winter birds are wingin' home now
Nothing out there you haven't seen before now
Old like a rum drinkin' demon at tea
Tell me what's your reason if you've got a good one
Wading in the water and you'll never get wet
Hey love, go and look around you
Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea
Tell me why will you never come home?
Everywhere I go the people all know
Take my line and go fishin' for a Tuesday
Awful cold and dark like a dungeon
No one is watchin' or standin' in your shoes
If you keep on doin' that rag
You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset
Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning
Wading in the water and you'll never get wet
If you keep on doin' that rag
One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild
Steppin' off sharply from the rank and file
Don't neglect to pick up what your share is
Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters
Everywhere I go the people all know
Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters
And the aces are crawlin' up and down your sleeve
Everyone is doin' that rag
Maybe get a little bit dark before the day
Everyone is doin' that rag
Baby, baby, tell me what's the matter?
What, what tell me what's your why how?
Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
Baby, baby, babe, pretty it all on Tuesday
Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
