Hit it, this ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either, this is L.A.
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 Tuesday
In the bar that faces the giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch breaks, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can, in skirts and suits
And they drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, and the record store too
Well, 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
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 he's blowing and cursing them out,
he's watching the bottles of Bud
As they spin on the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar,
dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
[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
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 the party has just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun,
I won't tell you 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
