Intro

Hit it
This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either
This is L.A.

Verse 1

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die"
says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William
but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy, or Mac or Buddy
and he's plain ugly to me, and I wonder if he's ever
had a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on a 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

Pre-chorus

They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
back to the phone company and the record store too
But they're nothing like Billy and me,

Chorus

Cause 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
All I wanna do is have some fun,
until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard  

Verse 2

I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
and Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar, then he lights every match in an oversized
pack, letting each one burn, down to his
thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor

Pre-chorus

And a happy couple enters the bar,
dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads,

Chorus

But 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
All I wanna do is have some fun,
until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

Pre-chorus

Otherwise the bar is ours
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
The sun and the moon

Chorus

But 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,
All I wanna do is have some fun,
I got a feeling the party has just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun,
I won't tell ya that you're the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun,
until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
