I want my good time up forever - maybe that's enough for me
So everytime I take a flivver - I got my return journey
There's a girl she's very ok - always fix me up with food
We make noise in by the yard - & we sell hoochie-koochie too
Bonaventure-I've been everywhere
Bonaventure-it's a wide wide place
Born to rule it-maybe you don't care
About where you go or about where you stay

My good friend boy he's a friend - yeh he's a boy & he's a face
& his attitude is that - we can walk 'round any place
We don't get in by the window - we gots tickets & grease pay
& we make our loot a loot a - skankin' right enough from way

I don't run & I don't hide - when I run from you
I don't run & I don't hide - making sure I'm up tonight
Never run I never hide - I'm blue blue blue
Never run I never hide - I know which way is up tonight

(where do ya think your going my friend I mean now, eh?-everywhere)

Will you hush my naughty mouth - & bar my journey out of bounds
Take the mince out of my step - & hold my tongue & shoot me down
If that takes my time & money - still don't see how I lose out
Looking at my next contender - makes me laugh until I shout
