Intro: G C G G C G

	G
	The ice cream man he's a hillbilly fan

He's got seventy-eights by Hank Snow

	C
	Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet

	G
To the rhythm that only he	knows

	Bm	C
And I've	seen him in so many pla	ces

	Bm	F	D
I	saw him on the night I was	born

	D	G
	In a Bour	bon Street bar, I received my first scar

	D	C	G
From an	old man so	tattered and torn

Chorus:

	C
And the	wino and I know the pain of street singin'

	G
Like the	door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'

	D	C
	Strange situation,	wild occupation

	G
Livin' my life like a	song

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 eat till I eat way too much

'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me

Be they pastry or lobster or love

I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy

In a world full of pushin' and shove

Chorus:

And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'

Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'

Strange situation, wild occupation

Livin' my life like a song

	D	C	G
	Sweet sen~orita won't you	please come with	me

	D	C	G
	Back to the island honey,	back to the	sea

	D	C	D
	Back to the only place that	I want to	be

Chorus:

And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean

Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion

Strange situation, wild occupation

Livin' my life like a song

Yes it's a strange situation, wild occupation

Livin' my life like a song
