I want my good time up forever - maybe that's enough for me

so everytime I take a flivver - I got my return journey

there's a girl she's very ok - always fix me up with food

we make noise in by the yard - & we sell hoochie-koochie too

Bonaventure-I've been everywhere

Bonaventure-it's a wide wide place

born to rule it-maybe you don't care

about where you go or about where you stay



my good friend boy he's a friend - yeh he's a boy & he's a face

& his attitude is that - we can walk 'round any place

we don't get in by the window - we gots tickets & grease pay

& we make our loot a loot a - skankin' right enough from way



I don't run & I don't hide - when I run from you

I don't run & I don't hide - making sure I'm up tonight

never run I never hide - I'm blue blue blue

never run I never hide - I know which way is up tonight



(where do ya think your going my friend I mean now, eh?-everywhere)



will you hush my naughty mouth - & bar my journey out of bounds

take the mince out of my step - & hold my tongue & shoot me down

if that takes my time & money - still don't see how I lose out

looking at my next contender - makes me laugh until I shout
