Empty pockets never stopped me from singing a blue streak
And I don´t think the devil ever gonna give me back
And stayin´ round here take patience
It´s like a full time occupation
Ivé become diplomatic
Hey mean old gal you know the crosstown bus just rolled
Yeah I´m the same old number
But we still got time to go

Oh I say mama
Living ain´t a luxury
Oh I say mama
And a lil´ ain´t enough for me

Yeah i´m believing that you needin´ your relaxation
But honey can you tell that story twice?
Cause there´s a function at the junction
I think ya better get it ready girl
Yeah I was born without a silver spoon
But i´m gonna make a stir
Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle one summer break
Same summer that I kissed her on her daddy´s boat
And shot across the lake
Singing all the way...

Oh I say mama
Living ain´t a luxury
Oh I say mama
And a lil´ ain´t enough for me
