about

I wrote the verse lyrics during the pandemic lockdown. They were a bit dark, so I revised them two years ago. I had the music and chorus for over 20 years.

Dale Jernberg sings the harmony vocal.

lyrics

Watching the World Go By

Mama done told me
I missed the boat
Wore off the numbers
On the tv remote
Hunger and anger
Battlefield scenes
Now and then unusual
Homecoming queens

CHORUS:
Watching the World Go By
Watching the World Go By
After the laughter
I’ll have a good cry
Watching the World Go By

Ain’t superstitious
Don’t like cottage cheese
Finally found out
Bad things come in threes
My baby deserted
Boxed up the blame
Put it on display at the Fools Hall of Fame
CHORUS

Crossed all my t’s
Dotted my i’s
What did that get me?
A bad case of hives
Hate to see changes
No matter how small
Lying on the floor
Leaves no place to fall
CHORUS
