Fat City Orleans

Want to tell you I'm doing fine
Standin' in the unemployment line
Two more hours and I'm outta here
Grab a bus to a couple of beers
Bummin' cigarettes from my friends
Hangin' out 'til my check comes in
Spendin' my life one week at a time
Oh

Money don't mean that much to me
I got my ticket for the lottery
Got a feelin' that I'm gonna win
I'm checkin' numbers 'til my ship comes in
Chase the rainbow to my pot of gold
Diggin' outta the hole
Watch it happen, it's just a matter of time

I'm gonna be in fat city, where I'm supposed to be
I pity anyone who isn't me
Sittin' pretty, livin' in luxury
That be me in fat city

I'll grab the Jag, fill my pockets with green
Take my pick of some beauty queens
Hop the jet down to Montserrat
Board the dinghy, head on out to the yacht
Pop the cork, turn the lamps down low
Head on into the hold
I'll be happenin', it's just a matter of time
