might as well have a good time

]

there are windows on the water

lighting up the silver strand

shining on the sea

shining on the sea

and the ocean's just a player

on an old piano

who repeats one melody

repeats one melody

i belong on the shore

hustlin' nickels and dimes

'cause it ain't long before it's gone

you might as well have a good time

]

well

the elbows of his jacket

are blue and shiny

he's drunk and gone to seed

he's drunk and gone to seed

and he mumbles as he plays

the only song he knows

it's the only song he needs

the only song he needs

i belong on the shore

hustlin' nickels and dimes

'cause it ain't long before it's gone

you might as well have a good time

]

all his restless music

don't mean a damn thing to me

the shallow or the deep

said

the shallow or the deep

and if you're free this evening

we'll go out together

and party 'till we sleep

i said

party 'till we sleep

and i belong on the shore

hustlin' nickels and dimes

'cause it ain't long before it's gone

you might as well have a good time

i belong on the shore

hustlin' nickels and dimes

'cause it ain't long before it's gone

you might as well have a good time

you might as well have a good time
