Elvis Costello Payday song lyrics

Let's go out on the town tonight

My pockets are heavy with loot

And get drunk and blasted

And loud in your dress of blue

I've been living from hand to mouth

It must be three or four weeks

And I can tell you one thing, Jack

You listen when your stomach speaks

I feel good just like I knew that I would

And all on account of that wine that I bought today

And I'm smiling so sweet at every little girl that I meet

Some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way

It feels so funny having all of this money

I think I feel like dancing the night away

I think I feel like dancing the night away

I got me this long legged girl

To help me to spend my dough

Her heart as big as your mama's stove

And her body like Brigitte Bardot

I'm all ready for some rock n' roll

With the guitar turned up loud

And the fancy footwork

And the drunk down, drugged up crowd

I feel good just like I knew that I would

And all on account of that wine that I bought today

And I'm smiling so sweet at every little girl that I meet

And some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way

It feels so funny having all of this money

I think I feel like dancing the night away

I think I feel like dancing the night away

I think I feel like dancing the night away
