Some gal told me today

Boy you’re wasting your life away

She said it’s bad how I spend my time

She said that I never make a dime

Chorus

I told her that I like to sleep late in the morning

I don’t like to wear no shoes

I Make love to the women while I’m living

Get drunk on a bottle of booze

Now I know I can’t go on living this way

Being broke from day to day

I got to stop this running around

Get a job and settle down

Repeat Chorus

I know this can’t go on

Yes, I should get up at dawn

And get a job and do it right

Be in bed by 8 each night

Repeat Chorus

Hey I know there is not a lot waiting for me

Straight as how it should be

I’ll be smiling all the time

Get my haircut and sleep and shine

Repeat Chorus

This gal told me today

David you’re wasting your life away

She said it’s bad how you spend my time

She said that I never make a dime

Repeat Chorus
