Only Takes a Few |
| "Almost missed this one," he said |
| I stared at the honky-tonk piano |
| Sure beats living in town |
| The beaches are half a mile away |
| "Not much of the cat," I said |
| He stared down underneath the couch |
| It doesn't matter much to me |
| Not gonna beat it, anyway |
| It only takes a few cents more to go first class |
| First class only takes a few |
| It only takes a few cents more to go first class |
| First class only takes a few |
| "It's called 'quintessence'," I said |
| She stared at an Oreo cookie in black and white |
| After water, earth, air and fire |
| The fifth and highest play |
| "Lobster okay?", she said |
| I stared at her refrigerator door |
| There'll be enough for the guy in the attic |
| What's his name? |
| It only takes a few cents more to go first class |
| First class only takes a few |
| It only takes a few cents more to go first class |
| First class only takes a few |
| Shared a floor with Nashville |
| The burger queen bought herself a pearl |
| A bloke named [?] |
| With art and a very pretty Cali girl |
| Downstairs, two Spanish lovers were singing along |
| With some domestic Don Juan |
| I had to pinch myself, what a hell of a house I'd stumbled on |
| "June, July, August," she said |
| They stared at the summer about to fade away |
| Damn good three months of my life |
| I remember now what living is |
| "The cat's now a cat," I say |
| You stare at the honky-tonk piano man |
| Watch your step |
| I just met Oliver, the lobster's his |
| It only takes a few good friends to be first class |
| First class only takes a few |
| It only takes a few good friends to be first class |
| First class only takes a few |
| First class only takes a few |
| It only takes a few |
| It only takes a few |
| It only takes a few |
| Long live the island |
| Long live the island |
| Long live the island |
