Little Nemo - Electric Jive lyrics

"Wasted youth" as they say It's too late to reprehend I don't want to follow that way These years are here to be spent This narrow education Didn't succeed anyway An inculcated vocation Never incites to obey I could wear a suit and tie Maybe live a sheltered life But instead I waste my time In the electric jive Playing bright and noisy A distorted pantomime When the days get cold and rainy Haven't got a spare dime Though you can't stand to see me Sleeping all day like a log It sounds really better to me Than working like a dog I could wear a suit and tie Maybe live a sheltered life But I'd rather spend my time in the electric jive
