Let's go out on the town tonight

My pockets are heavy with loot

And get drunk and nasty

And loud and aggressive to boot

I've been living from hand to mouth

For what 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

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

Oh, 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

A heart as big as your mama's stove

And a body like Brigitte Bardot

I'm all ready for some rock 'n' roll

With the guitar turned up loud

And the fancy footwork

And a low-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

Well, it feels so funny having all 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
