Lyrics Hard Times (Topsy Turvy) - Cab Calloway
I′m
a
striver,
from
up
on
Striver's
Row
And
I′m
jivin'
the
very
best
to
know
But
hard
times
got
things
topsy-turvy
Oh,
Lady
Luck
is
the
meanest
chick
in
town
I
know
it
'cause
she
brought
me
down
Hard
times
got
things
topsy-turvy
You
know,
once
I
had
lots
and
lots
of
money
And
I
used
to
dress
up
so
debonair
But
now
I′m
on
my
uppers
And
tough
luck
may
be,
but
it
won′t
get
in
my
hair
I'm
a
striver,
from
up
on
Striver′s
Row
And
I'm
jivin′
the
very
best
to
know
But
hard
times
got
things
topsy-turvy
(Instrumental
break)
Aw,
Jack
I'm
sort
of
beat
my
chance
now,
you,
so,
You
better
hit
the
road
′Cause
things
are
still
topsy-turvy
Things
are
gonna
be
down
on
the
turf
now,
Jack
'Cause
things
are
still
topsy-turvy
The
Great
White
Way
is
a
little
beat
But
things
are
still
topsy-turvy
