Costello, Elvis - 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

  1. C.... C....

    This is brilliant!

    Jesse Winchester was a draft dodging coward who ran off to Canada while his countrymen and women were getting killed and wounded in Vietnam. I can't believe they let all of those traitors back in. Not with my blessing for sure.

    M.... G....

    You don't give up do you? I responded to another of your vile comments a few days ago and thought that would be enough for you. I told you that those who were killed and wounded in Vietnam did so in vain, but you were too cowardly to defend your position except to crawl elsewhere and spread your venom. Now I have to ask: Did you serve in Vietnam or Iraq or Aphganistan? No response means your didn't and are just a hypocrite.

    I think I just saw a Supergroup in concert.

    I met Jesse Winchester in Edmonton, Alberta during the 70;s while he was performing there, we both were in exile due to the Vietnam War...just feel in love with his music and his charming personality.  I will miss you Jesse, Michael Lee Johnson, the Itasca, IL. poet.  http://poetryman.mysite.com/
