Lyrics:

A rounder, rounder, is a rounder
She says, I'm just a waste of all her time
She says, "It's quite contrary
You're in love, but you won't marry
You're a fool if you think I won't leave your life"
A rounder, rounder, is a rounder
A man is just a fool and a friend of pride
She says, "You think you're something
But your friends all call you nothing
You're a fool if you think I won't say goodbye"
But she don't, and she won't
She hasn't and she's here
She says she's gonna leave me
But she's buying all my beer

A rounder, rounder, is a rounder
Well she says I need her help just getting by
But I was raised in Kansas City
And I don't expect her pity
I'm a man who's made a living getting by
That's right, darling
A rounder, rounder, is a rounder
She says, I'm just a wasting all her time
Well, she says, I think that I'm something
But my friends all call me nothing
You're a fool if you think I won't say goodbye
