Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think we have one more, we're gonna do one more
I think this is gonna be the first time we ever did it with banjo
And that's good, I like, I mean not, wait a minute
That's open to mis, misunderstanding?
I think it's good we're doing it now with banjo
It's good
It's good
That's what I meant?
Tony Trishka, let's hear it for him again, on banjo
[Verse 2]
Day after day
I will walk
And I will play
But the day after today
I will stop
And I will start
1, 2, 3, 4
[Verse 3]
Why can't I get just one kiss?
Why can't I get just one kiss?
There may be somethings that I wouldn't miss
But I look at your pants, I need a kiss
[Verse 4]
Why can't I get just one screw?
Why can't I get just one screw?
Believe me, I know what to do
But something won't let me make love to you
[Verse 5]
Why can't I get just one?
Why can't I get just one?
I guess it's got something to do with luck
But I waited my whole life for just one
[Verse 6]
Day after day
I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I take a bow, I'll say goodnight
[Verse 7]
Oh my my my mo my mum
Have you kept your eye, your eye on your son?
I know you've got problems, you're not the only one
When your sugar left, he left you on the run
[Verse 8]
Mo my my my mo my mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's walking around like he's number one
Went downtown and you got him a gun
[Verse 9]
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You know you've got my sympathy
But don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
[Verse 10]
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
You know you've got my sympathy
Don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
[Verse 11]
Broke down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs?
Share a smoke, make a joke
Can I grasp and reach for a leg of hope?
[Verse 12]
I said words to memorize
Words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all fail the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
[Verse 13]
Oh my my my mo my mother
I'd love to love you, lover
City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
[Verse 14]
Oh my my my mo my mother
I would love to love you, lover
City is restless, it's ready to pounce
Here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
[Verse 15]
I've given you a decision to make
Thing to lose, things to take
Just about ready to cut it up
Said, wait a minute honey, I'm gonna add it up
[Verse 16]
I wanna add it up
Add it up
Add it up
Add it up
Add it up
You got sing, you got, you got
Add it up
Add it up
Add it up
[Verse 17]
Day after day (Add it up, add it up, add it up, add it up)
I get angry and I will say (Add it up, add it up, add it up, add it up)
That the day is in my sight (Add it up, add it up, add it up, add it up)
When I take a bow, I'll say goodnight (Add it up, add it up, add it up, add it up)
Goodnight
