All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die
|
says man next me out of nowhere apropos of nothing
|
he says his name's william but I'm sure he's bill or billy
|
mac or buddy he's plain ugly to me and I wonder
|
if he's ever had fun in his life we're 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 and suits
|
they drive their shinning datsuns and buicks
|
back to the phone company the record store
|
well they're nothing like billy and me
|
|
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
|
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 lables from his bottles of bud
|
and shred them on the bar
|
then he likes every match in un oversize pack letting each one
|
burn down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
|
and he's watching
|
the buds as they spin on the floor a happy couple enters the bar dangerously
|
close the bartender looks up from his want ads
|
otherwise the bar is ours and the day and the night and the car wash too
|
the matches and the buds and clean and dirty cars the sun and the moon
|
