 Seen the carnival  at Rome,
 Had the women I  had the  booze.
 All I can remember  now
 Is little kids without  no  shoes.
 So I  saw that train and  I got on it
 With a  heartful of hate and a  lust for vomit.
 Now I'm  walking on the  sunnyside of the  street.
 
 Stepped over bodies  in Bombay
 Tried to make it to the  U. S.  A.
 Ended up  in Nepal
 Up on a roof with  nothing at  all
 And I  knew that  day
 I was  going to  stay
 Right where I  am, on the  sunnyside of the  street.
 
  Solo On Verse Chords
 Been in a palace, and I've  been in a jail;
 I just don't want to be reborn  a  snail.
 Just  want to  spend
ternity
 Right where I  am, on the  sunnyside of the  street.
 
 As my  mother wept it was  then I swore
 To  take my life as I  would a whore.
 I  know I'm better  than before.
 I will  not be reconstructed.
 So I  stay right here on the  sunnyside of the  street.
 The  sunnyside of the  street.
 The  sunnyside of the  street.
 The  sunnyside of the  street.
