Píseň: How Long You Wanna Live, Anyway?

Interpret:
Stray Cats
Album:
Rant 'N' Rave With Stray Cats
Well it's no good to smoke and
it's no good to drink
What the hell you're doing boy
don't you never ever think
Well you're killing yourself man
and you're just a kid
So you better slow down or you
wish that you did


Maybe I'll only last a year and a
day, but
How long you wanna live anyway


Well I just don't care and I just
can't be bothered
Well I'm sick of taking crap from
my mother and my father
Well I'm looking real cool my hair
all grease
Well there ain't no way I'm gonna
live like a priest


Maybe I'll only last a year and a
day, but
How long you wanna live anyway


Well you're growing old man and
you ain't having no fun
Well I'm still young and I'm getting
me some
Well you can hide away and you
can live like a munk
And I'll be a low down dirty skunk


Maybe I'll only last a year and a
day
Maybe I'll only last a year and a
day
Maybe I'll only last a year and a
day, but
Like how long you wanna live
anyway
