So It Goes

I had a tiger by the tail
But it swung around and bit my arm
I had a hammer but I missed the nail
And every fire's been a false alarm

So it goes
It never seems to change now
I'm one of those
You'd read about in Reader's Digest

By the way, my name is Clink
And how'd you like to look with that
I had a papa who was born to drink
And I've been living like an alley cat

So it goes
The story of my life now
And now I'm supposed
You take the time to think it over, yeah

Oh oh

So it goes
The story of my life now
And you proposed
You take the time to reconsider

Before you make a great mistake
Something that you might regret
I would wish it on a rabbit's snake
I know exactly what you're gonna get (So it goes)
I know exactly what you're gonna get (So it goes)
I know exactly what you're gonna get (So it goes)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
