Betty's in a wet T-shirt, feeling foolish and vain

Looking like some housecat that got caught out in the rain

Staring into the mirror at this less-than-pretty picture

Feeling ten years older now, and fifty bucks richer



Life is hard, can't buy happiness no matter what you do

Can't get to heaven on roller skates -- can't take a taxi cab to Timbuktu



Paul was a poor little rich boy -- he never had to cry

Whenever he complained of aches and pains the doctors would drop by

Now he goes to parties with the prettiest girls in town

They get paid five hundred dollars just to kick him when he's down



After he stiffed a waitress, and ran out on his tab

Big Mac had a heart attack in the back of a Yellow Cab

By the time the sound of the siren said the ambulance was coming

His heart had stopped beating, but the meter was still running



Ain't no escaping when the rent comes due
