shiny ‘vette
velvet walls
noontime cabaret
passing by, bye
cigarette
cell phone calls
boot mark to the face
push and pull
take the cake
climb to the top!
rise at the top!
wallet’s fat
bank account swells
now some time to wait
nice and full
got it made
winding the clock!
(winding the clock!)
scratching backs
fingernails smell
now i'm turning grey
take my dime,
not my time
what was that?
slot machine bells
not for me today
or any day
one more sip
of lemonade
when will it stop?
when will it stop?
when will it stop?
when will it stop?
when will it?
Lyrics for small jazz ensemble & voice.
