I saw this cat leave my pad

And this made me awful sad

But in the mean time I was gettin' mad

And I said"baby what explanation do you have? "

She said"mmmmmmmnext time"

What do you mean next time? 

No next time babythat ws the last time

I got my hat and headed for the door

I knew I wouldn't be back there no more

And the landlord came up a real cool jed he said

"hey buddyhow bout the rent? "

I said"mmmmmmmmnext time"

What do you mean next time? 

He said no next timeyou gonna pay me right now

Now after the confusion had all died down

I figured I'd better get outta town

But when I arrived at the airport

There stood a man with a notice sayin'

Bail ya to support

I said"mmmmmmmnext time"

What do you mean next time? 

He said nonext timeyou comin' home right now

They took me to see an old friend of mine

Yeah district courtroom 229

Just say your payments are way behind

I said"don't worry daddyit won't happen next time."

And he said"mmmmmmmmnext time."

What do you mean next time? 

Ain't gonna be no next timecuz you goin' to jail right now."
