"Bona Venture" Lyrics

I want my good time up forever, maybe that's enough for me
So every time I take a flivver, I got my return journey
There's a girl, she's very okay, always fix me up with food
We make noise down by the yard and we sell hoochie-koochie too

Bona venture, I've been everywhere
Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place
Born to rule it, maybe you don't care
About where you go or about where you stay

My good friend, boy, he's a friend, yeah, he's a boy and he's a face
And his attitude is that we can walk 'round any place
We don't get in by the window, we gots tickets and grease pay
And we make our loot a loot a-skankin' right enough from way

Bona venture, I've been everywhere
Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place
Born to rule it, maybe you don't care
About where you go or about where you stay

I don't run and I don't hide when I run from you
I don't run and I don't hide making sure I'm up tonight
Never run I never hide I'm blue, blue, blue
Never run I never hide, I know which way is up tonight

Bona venture, I've been everywhere
Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place
Born to rule it, maybe you don't care
About where you go or about where you stay

Oh
Where do you think you're going, my friend, I mean now, eh?
Everywhere

Will you hush my naughty mouth and bar my journey out of bounds?
Take the mince out of my step and hold my tongue and shoot me down
If that takes my time and money, still don't see how I lose out
Looking at my next contender makes me laugh until I shout

Bona venture, I've been everywhere
Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place
Born to rule it, maybe you don't care
About where you go or about where you stay

Bona venture, I've been everywhere
Bona venture, it's a wide, wide place
Born to rule it, maybe you don't care
About where you go or about where you stay
