Now listen
Not a dime I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make my ends meet

I'm always workin', slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

They say I spend my money on women and wine
But I couldn't tell ya where I spent last night
I'm real sorry 'bout the shape I'm in
I just like my fun every now and then

I'm always workin', slavin' every day
Gotta get a break from the same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say

Don't need nothin' but a good time
How can I resist
Ain't lookin for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this

You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away, yea
Here's to ya
