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
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
