On the other side of the tracks, that is where I'm gonna beOn the other side of the great divide between fame and fortune and meGonna put my shadows behind me, give my inhibitions the axeAnd tomorrow morning you'll find me on the other side of the tracksOn the other side of that line where the life is fancy and freeI'm gonna sit and fan on my fatty van while the butler bottles the teaBut for now I'm facing the fences and I can't afford to relaxWhile the whole club poodle commences on the other side of the tracksSo I'm off and running over the rail, I'm going gunning after the quailOff and running, send me the mail to the great big world on the other sideThe great big world on the other side, the great big world on the other side of the tracksOn the other side of the tracks, that is where I'm gonna beOn the other side of that great divide between fame and fortune and meI'm gonna put my shadows behind me, give my inhibitions the axeAnd tomorrow morning you'll find me on the other side of the tracksOn the other side of that line where the life is fancy and freeI'm gonna sit and fan on my fatty van while the butler bottles the teaBut for now I'm facing the fences and I can't afford to relaxWhile the whole club poodle commences on the other side of the tracksSo I'm off and running over the rail, I'm going gunning after the quailOff and running, send me the mail to the great big world on the other sideThe great big world on the other side, the great big world on the other side of the tracksThe other side, the other side, big old world on the other side of the tracksOh yeah
