High Wide Handsome
Loudon Wainwright III
[Intro] x2 High wide and handsome that’s how I like livin’ High wide and handsome that’s how life should be Low skinny and ugly that’s for other people High wide and handsome suits me to a tee [Chorus] Song wine and women they’re my three favorites Beer gin and whiskey that’s five six and four Saturday night I like eatin’ and dancin’ I sleep all day Sunday so’s I’m ready for more High wide and handsome you can’t take it with you High wide and handsome that’s one way to go Let’s live it up might as well we’re all dyin’ High wide and handsome let’s put on a show Can’t quit what will kill me so why even bother? I love this hard living so why even try? I’ll be high wide and handsome when I kick the bucket I’ll be high wide and handsome on the day I die. High wide and handsome you can call it my motto High wide and handsome call it my creed Money’s just paper liquor’s thicker than water High wide and handsome my thought word indeed. Have high wide and handsome carved on my headstone With the date I was born plus the date that I died Take one from the other all that’s left is a number Just remember I laughed twice as hard as I cried. High wide and handsome that’s how I like a-living High wide and handsome that’s how life should be Low skinny and ugly that’s for other people High wide and handsome suits me to a tee.
