My buddies called up about 9 o'clock
Said, "Let's go out, man...there's a party down the block
We'll do the boogaloo, do the jump and do the twirl
And we ain't coming home till we find you a girl.
But I know I'm never gonna find romance
As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance.
I sit home at night just watching the tube
I cot no cash, my feet won't move
I've got to get some money, got to learn how to spin
I've got do do something 'bout the shape I'm in
But I know I'm never gonna find romance
As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance.
I read a couple books about how to make a buck
I tried like hell but I didn't have no luck
I tried to learn to dance by watching James Brown
But my feet got tangled and I landed on the ground
But I know I'm never gonna find romance
As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance.
I'm just sitting here in this hole I dug
While my friends are out drinking and cutting a rug
I've got to do something just as fast as I can
Or I'm gonna die a lonely old man
But I know I'm never gonna find romance
As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance.
