Lyrics by Jack Feldman.<br>

<br>

MEDDA:<br>

High times, hard times<br>

Sometimes the living is sweet<br>

And sometimes there's nothing to eat<br>

But I always land on my feet<br>

So when there's dry times<br>

I wait for high times and then<br>

I put on my best<br>

And I stick out my chest<br>

And I'm off to the races again! <br>

<br>

My good friend the mayor, he called me today<br>

He said all the voters are turning away<br>

"Help me," he cried, "or they'll give me the axe!"<br>

I said, "Your Honor, you've got to relax ..." Everybody! <br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

High times, hard times<br>

Sometimes the living is sweet<br>

And sometimes there's nothing to eat<br>

But I always land on my feet<br>

So when there's dry times<br>

I wait for high times and then<br>

I put on my best<br>

And I stick out my chest<br>

And I'm off to the races again! <br>

<br>

MEDDA:<br>

So your old lady don't love you no more<br>

So you're afraid there's a wolf at your door<br>

So you got street rats that scream in your ear <br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

You win some, you lose some, my dear!<br>

Oh, high times, hard times<br>

Sometimes the living is sweet<br>

And sometimes there's nothing to eat<br>

But I always land on my feet<br>

So when there's dry times<br>

I wait for high times and then<br>

I put on my best<br>

And I stick out my chest<br>

And I'm off to the races again! <br>

<br>

I put on my best<br>

And I stick out my chest<br>

And I'm off<br>

And I'm off<br>

And I'm off to the races again!<br>

<br>
