<b>Life Could Be Worse</b> by <i>Barney Bentall</i><br />a and Ma and Sis and Jimmy

Went out for a drive and some drunken lawyer hit 'em

Everybody but the lawyer died.

Pa had lots of debts so I went and sold the farm

I'm living in a tenament and I'm starvin'

I've got rat bites on my arms.

(Chorus)

Yeah, but life could be worse, things could get bad

I'm lucky I guess to remember what I had, ohh

Waiting in the line one day for a

Bit of soup and bread I met Miss Alicia

And this is what she said

"Keep your chin up Bobby, smile when you talk"

Then she went away now,

She went away with Pa's gold watch.

(Chorus 2)

Yeah, but life could be worse, things could get bad

I'm lucky I guess to remember what I had, ohh

I'm lucky I guess to remember what I had.

Now I'm working out on Davie Street

For a man called Eddie Bones, I give him half of what I make

And he leaves me alone.

I don't deal no rough trade, like the corner cowboys do

I'm a temporary resident

Of Lonely Avenue.

(Chorus 3)

Yeah, but life could be worse, things could get bad

Life could be worse.

Life could be worse!

I'm lucky I guess to remember what I had, ohh

I'm lucky I guess to remember what I had, ohh

I'm lucky I guess to remember what I had.
