Some [G] gal told me [C] today
Boy you're wasting your life[G] away
She said it's bad how I spend my [C] time
She said that I never make a [G] dime

Chorus
I told her that I [C] like to sleep late in the [G] 
morning
I [C] don't like to wear no [G] shoes
I Make [C] love to the women [G] while I'm living
Get [D] drunk on a bottle of [G] booze

Now I [G] know I can't go on living this [C] way
Being broke from day to [G] day 
I got to stop this running [C] around 
Get a job and settle [G] down 

Repeat Chorus

I know this can't go [C] on
Yes, I should get up at [G] dawn
And get a job and do it [C] right
Be in bed by 8 each [G] night

Repeat Chorus

Hey I know there is not a lot waiting for [C] me
Straight as how it should [G] be
I'll be smiling all the[C] time
Get my haircut and sleep and [G] shine

Repeat Chorus

This gal told me [C] today
David you're wasting your life[G] away
She said it's bad how you spend my [C] time
She said that I never make a [G] dime
