"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die"
|
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
|
It's apropos of nothing
|
He says his name's William but I'm sure
|
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
|
And he's plain ugly to me
|
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life
|
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
|
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
|
The good people of the world are washing their cars
|
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
|
As best they can in skirts in suits
|
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
|
Back to the phone company, the record store too
|
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
|
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
|
|
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
|
And Billy likes to peel the labels
|
From his bottles of Bud
|
He shreds them on the bar
|
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
|
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
|
Before blowing and cursing them out
|
And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor
|
And a happy couple enters the bar
|
Dangerously close to one another
|
The bartender looks up from his want ads
|
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
|
|
Otherwise the bar is ours,
|
The day and the night and the car wash too
|
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
|
The sun and the moon but
|
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
Ive got a feeling the party has just begun
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
I won't tell ya, that your the only one
|
All I wanna do is have some fun
|
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
|
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
|
