I'm the bagman
yes, I'm the bagman
it aint my money
but I'm holding the bag
it aint funny
I tell ya sonny
I'm the gunny
for somebody else's swag
it's a dirty job
but somebody's gotta do it
a dirty job
but I'll get through it
I go to and fro
collecting the dough
just so's you know
like I knew it
there once was a time
when I called the shots
I was in my prime
I gots what I gots
but now guess you know
that I sunk so low
I'm just another grunt
in the show
I'm the bagman
guess I'm just the bagman
just the fag end
just holding the bag
it aint fair
here or there
nobody cares
if I get tagged
there once was a year
when it was so clear
I was what I ought
I wanted for nought
but all things must end
I don't know when
and when I was broke
I lost all my friends
now I'm the bagman
just the bagman
I'm the bagman
stuck with the bag
I can't win
I can't spin
just drop in
and do it all over agin
