All I Wanna Do - Live From Central Park/1999

This ain't no country club

And it ain't no disco

This is New York City

One, two, one, two

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die"

Says the man next to me out of nowhere

It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William

But I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy

And he's plain ugly to me

And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life

We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday

In a bar that faces a giant car wash

The good people of the world

Are washing their cars on their lunch break

Hosing and scrubbing as best they can in skirts in suits

They drive up in their shiny Datsuns and Buicks

Back to the phone company, the record stores too

Well, they're nothing like Billy and me

'Cause all I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I like a good beer buzz early in the mornin'

And Billy likes to peel the labels off his bottles of Bud

He lays it, one up on the bar

And lights every match in an oversized pack

Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers

Before blowing and cursing them out

He watches the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor

And a happy couple enters the bar

Dangerously close to one another

The bartender looks up from his want ads

But all I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

This is my big solo

Otherwise the bar is ours

The day and the night and the car wash too

The Buds and the matches and the clean and dirty cars

The sun and the moon, oh

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling I'm not the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I won't tell you that you're the only one

All I wanna do is have some fun

I got a feeling, there's a party goin' on

Yeah, I think it's way back there

Yeah, all I wanna do is have some fun

Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

The sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard

Let me just say it, a big hand for Sheryl here

And the boys in the band are doing all the work

It's great to be here, it's great to be anywhere

Okay, this one's happy
