I got drunk with a real nice guy last night

In a mood to talk or fight

And he said, what's the matter

You don't look like you do so bad

I said I just been taking for everything I had

Someone took a fancy to my wallet

and my coat

So what you smiling at-ain't you been in that boat

It's something that there really should be

Something done about

He said don't knock it sonny

That's the way I started out

And now I got a nice suit

I got a nice car

It's been a nice day

Don't tell me that crime don't pay

Okay
