Go out yonder, peace in the valley Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in ♪ Has anybody seen my lady? This living alone will drive me crazy Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in ♪ Well I just went down by the water But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no I'll just be looking for my maker And I hear that that's where she's gone, oh Out of nine lives, I spent seven Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven? Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in ♪ Well, I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse For the crime of having no dough, no Now, here I am, back out on the street For the crime of having nowhere to go Save your neck or save your brother Looks like it's one or the other Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in ♪ Now, two young kids might start a ruckus You know they feel you tryin' to shuck us Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in ♪ Thank you
