Blue Plate Specials - Whiskey Costs Money lyrics

My buddies called up about 9 o'clock Said, "Let's go out, man...there's a party down the block We'll do the boogaloo, do the jump and do the twirl And we ain't coming home till we find you a girl. But I know I'm never gonna find romance As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance. I sit home at night just watching the tube I cot no cash, my feet won't move I've got to get some money, got to learn how to spin I've got do do something 'bout the shape I'm in But I know I'm never gonna find romance As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance. I read a couple books about how to make a buck I tried like hell but I didn't have no luck I tried to learn to dance by watching James Brown But my feet got tangled and I landed on the ground But I know I'm never gonna find romance As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance. I'm just sitting here in this hole I dug While my friends are out drinking and cutting a rug I've got to do something just as fast as I can Or I'm gonna die a lonely old man But I know I'm never gonna find romance As long as Whiskey costs money and I can't dance.
