Nothin' you can't handle, nothin' you ain't got

Put your money on the table and drive it off the lot

Hey son, you better get on back to town

Face the sad old truth, the dirty lowdown

Put those ideas in your head

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)

Verse 3

You ain't got to be bad, got to be cold

This dog-eat-dog business is surely gettin' old

Got to have a jones for this, jones for that

This runnin' with the joneses, boy, it just ain't where it's at

You gonna come back around

To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)

Got you thinkin' like that

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, I wonder-wonder-wonder-wonder who)
