(Mose Allison)

Been workin' in nightclubs so long, can hardly stand the break of day

Been workin' in nightclubs so long, can hardly stand the break of day

Run down rooms and bad places

But it's still the only way



Gonna be here through Sunday evening, be someplace else on Tuesday night

Gonna be here through Sunday evening, be someplace else on Tuesday night

If I get home with all my money

Everything will be alright



If I had a million dollars, I'd sit right down and relax

If I had a million dollars, I'd sit right down and relax

I'd go off and buy myself a nightclub

And write it off my income tax
