When I have nothing else to do

I find me a paper

I take it on up to my room

You'll find me there later

I'm gonna find me love

I'm gonna find me a car

I'm gonna find me some land in the country far

And I'm gonna drive my lady there,

and pick up my Evening Star



When I have nothing else to do

I buy me a paper

I take it on back home

You'll find both of us later

Gonna sleep with my Woman

Look in the column of adoption

Where gonna get us one little boy and a girl

In the classified

And every time, every time I will remember you
