I'm gonna live it up so you can live it down I'm tired of being laughed like like a clown

Well see who's giving who the run around I'm gonna live it up so you can live it down



Well they say that every dog's a gonna have his day

Well now the time has come for this ol' hound to play

You'll find me where the lights're bright and gay

And while the sun shines I'll be a makin' hay

I'm gonna live it up...

[ steel - guitar ]

Well you've had me by the nose now long enough

But now I'm a gonna change and call you bluff

Stand back and gimme room to strap my stuff

And don't get in the way for the things might get rough

I'm gonna live it up...

I'm gonna live it up so you can live it down
