If, by chance, I ever lose all that I’ve worked for
And have to live in a cardboard box with a T-shirt for a door,
I would buy a spacious box, big enough for two,
Dress it up and turn it into home for me and you.
You could always leave me barefoot and alone,
But if your feet get gangrenous, I’ll carry you back home.
You could always leave me barefoot and alone,
But if your feet get gangrenous, I’ll carry you — carry you back home.
Carry you back to our cardboard palace,
with our milk-crate thrones,
Where we will live and never be
barefoot and alone.
You could always leave me barefoot and alone,
But if your feet get gangrenous, I’ll carry you back home.
You could always leave me barefoot and alone,
But if your feet get gangrenous, I’ll carry you — carry you back home.
