Gotta Get A Meal Ticket
Elton John
Note: Another great song from "Captain Fantastic"! This has always been one of my favorites. Enjoy! Artist: Elton John Album: Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy Music and Lyrics: Bernie Taupin and Elton John Intro: [Verse 1]: I can hound you if I need too. Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe in the corner. In the corner. While the others climb reaching dizzy heights the world’s in front of me in black and white. I’m on the bottom line I’m on the bottom line. [Verse 2]: (same progression as before.) I’d have a cardiac if I had such luck. Lucky losers lucky losers landing on skid row. Landing on skid row. While the Diamond Jims and the Kings road pimps breathe heavy in their brand new clothes. I’m on the bottom line I’m on the bottom line. [Chorus]: And I gotta get a meal ticket. To survive you need a meal ticket to stay alive you need a meal ticket. Feel no pain no pain. No regret no regret. When the line’s been signed you’re someone else. Do yourself a favor the meal ticket does the rest. [repeat intro.] [Verse 3]: Shake a hand if you have too. Trust in us and we will love you anyway. Anyway. Don’t leave us stranded in the jungle with fifty per cent that’s hard to handle ain’t that so. Ain’t that so. [repeat chorus] [repeat intro.] SOLO [repeat chorus] [repeat intro.]
