I’m Going to Have Myself a Ball

[Verse 1]
Well for years and years they say that money has been
The root of all evil to a lot of men
But if you ask me to have my pick
I’ll take the money, you can have the chick
I’m gonna have myself a ball
Gonna have myself a ball
Gonna have myself a ball
But sure don’t know when you got to go

[Verse 2]
Now there’s one thing I always say
Make everyday a holiday
When you kick the bucket, it’s just too bad
Life’s too short, don’t make it said
Let’s have ourself a ball
Let’s have ourself a ball
Let’s have oursеlf a ball
Cos sure don’t know when you got to go

[Sax solo]

[Verse 3]
You work and work and have no fun
You’ll find out you’rе the crazy one
Taxes are high and rent is too
But there’s one thing you can always do
You can have yourself a ball
Yes, you can have yourself a ball
You can have yourself a ball
But sure don’t know when you got to go

[Chorus]
Let’s have a ball
Have a ball
Let’s have a ball
Cos sure don’t know when you got to go

[Chorus]
Let’s have a ball
Let’s have a ball
Let’s have a ball
Cos you sure don’t know when you got to go

[Verse 4]
Now money is short, time is long
If you had a ball you can’t go wrong
Had plenty money when I started out
But the chicks beat me down, now I’m down ’n’ out
So I’m gonna have a ball
I’m gonna have myself a ball
I’m gonna have a ball
Cos I sure don’t know when I got to go

[Chorus]
I’ll have a ball
I’ll have a ball
Yes, I’ll have a ball
Cos I don’t know when I got to go

[Verse 5]
I’m gonna give you some good advice
Take this jive and take it twice
Take a little bit of that hard earned pay
But put some away for a rainy day
And have yourself a ball
And have yourself a ball
Go one and have yourself a ball
Cos you sure don’t know when you got to go

[Chorus]
If you have a ball
Let’s have a ball
Let’s have a ball
Cos you sure don’t know when you got to go
