I used to work in an ice cream shop
Sugar cone with a cherry on top
This girl, she had a pretty face
I think her mother might have owned the place
I still think about her sometimes, no reason at all

I took a trip in a Buick once
Stayed out West for a couple of months
The apples and the oranges there
They shine a lot better than they shine here
Other than that, things turned out the same

Oh no, we got bills to pay
Oh no, we got errands to run
Oh no, too many things to do
And I'm not gonna do a damn one

You see, I'm working off this leftover buzz
Morning after a part of it was
By all accounts a great success
I have many friends and acquaintances
Thing is, I've never been good with names

Oh no, we got bills to pay
Oh no, too many errands to run
Oh no, too many bills to pay
And I can't pay a damn one

Oh, but I know I'm gonna make a lot of money one day
I got this hunch that it's on the way
I'm gonna stack it up on my living room floor
Dig me a trench by the living room door
Hunker down and wait for the IRS
