Easy to Love, Pt. 1 |
Danny was an old-time Bourbon Street barker |
Who wanted the same as Charlie Parker |
And always cued-up a ball |
Thinking he was one rack away |
But even when you run the table |
The check still seems small |
When it’s your last payday |
The shallow pocket changer |
Who always took advantage of strangers |
Tried to make a five-grand grab |
With a split second getaway |
But he forgot that a bag of money |
Ain’t worth much on a slab |
When it’s your last payday |
That line about luck just can’t be bought |
You’re always lucky 'til you get caught |
Trouble will find you, no need to look |
And luck won’t help when they close the book |
I know a lot of young fellas in here |
Especially those on the highest tier |
Still want to believe |
That Santa comes in a sleigh |
They’re right about the long white beard |
But wrong about Christmas Eve |
What’s Christmas, when it’s your last payday |
