[Verse 1] I fell in love with a working girl Lord she sure was sweet I met her down in a red-light tavern Working on Bourbon Street Way down in the old French Quarter Bright light side of town Daytime life sure is cozy Living with the shades pulled down [Chorus] Living with the shades pulled down all day Loving while the world goes around Nobody knows what all we’re doing Living with the shades pulled down [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Some might get the wrong idea Bout the kind of man I am But I bring home my half of the bacon Picking in a guitar band Love is all my working girl brings me Coming in off the town Day time life sure gets cozy Living with the shades pulled down [Chorus] Living with the shades pulled down all day Loving while the world goes around Nobody knows what all we’re doing Living with the shades pulled down [Instrumental] [Chorus] Living with the shades pulled down all day Loving while the world goes around Nobody knows what all we’re doing Living with the shades pulled down Living with the shades pulled down all day Loving while the world goes around Nobody knows what all we’re doing Living with the shades pulled down
