Go out yonder, peace in the valley.
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley.
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in!

Has anybody seen my lady?
This living alone will drive me crazy.
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in.

I'm gonna go down by the water,
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no.
I'll just be looking for my maker
And I hear that that's where she's been. Oh!

Out of nine lives, I spent seven.
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in!

[Instrumental/Organ Break]

I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse,
For the crime of having no dough.
Now here I am back out on the street,
For the crime of having nowhere to go.

Save your neck or save your brother,
Looks like it's one or the other.
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in!

Now two young kids might start a ruckus.
You know they feel you trying to shuck us.
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in!

[Instrumental Finale]
