  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

  To the rhythm that only he [G]knows

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

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

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

  From an [D]old man so [C]tattered and torn[G]

  

  {c:Chorus:}

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

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

       [D]Strange situation, [C]wild occupation

       Livin' my life like a[G] 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

  

  {c: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]Sweet sen~orita won't you [C]please come with [G]me

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

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

  

  {c: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
