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
