Elvis Costello Payday Lyrics

Payday Lyrics

Let`s go out on the town tonight
My pockets are heavy with loot
And get drunk and blasted
(And loud in your dress of blue)

I`ve been living from hand to mouth
It must be three or four weeks
And I can tell you one thing Jack
You listen when your stomach speaks

I feel good just like I knew that I would
And all on account of that wine that I bought today
I`m smiling so sweet
At every little girl that I meet
Some fools will try to tell you it`s a sin to feel this way

It feels so funny having all of this money
I think I feel like dancing the night away
I think I feel like dancing the night away

I got me this long legged girl
To help me to spend my dough
Her heart as big as your mama`s stove
And her body like Brigitte Bardot

I`m all ready for some Rock and Roll
With the guitar turned up loud
And the fancy footwork
And the (drunk) down, druged up crowd

I feel good just like I knew that I would
All on account of that wine that I bought today
I`m smiling so sweet
At every little girl that I meet
Some fools will try to tell you it`s a sin to feel this way

It feels so funny having all of this money
I think I feel like dancing the night away
I think I feel like dancing the night away
