All I Wanna Do

Sheryl Crow

This ain't no country club
And it ain't no disco
This is New York City
1, 2, 1, 2

"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 nothin'
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 drinkin' beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world they're washin' their cars
On their lunch break
Hosin' and scrubbin' as best they can in skirts in suits
They drive up in their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company and record stores too
Nothin' like Billy and me, 'cause

All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feelin' I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feelin' 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 mornin'
And Billy likes to peel the labels off his bottles of Bud
He lays each one up on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Lettin' each one burn down to his

Thick fingers before blowin' and cursin' 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

All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feelin' I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feelin' I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

Otherwise the bar is ours
The day and the night and the car wash too
The Buds and the matches and they're cleanin' dirty cars
The sun and the moon

All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feelin' I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feelin' I'm not the only one

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
I've got a feelin' there's a party goin' on

Yeah, I think it's way back there!

Yeah, but all I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
Sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
