"All I Wanna Do" spoken "beatnik" style by Sheryl Crow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39NXtZhycuM "All I Wanna Do" (spoken Beatnik style) by Sheryl Crow . . "All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die" Says the man next to me out of nowhere It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William But I'm sure...it's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy . . And he's plain ugly to me And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday In a bar that faces a giant car wash . . And the good people of the world Are washing their cars on their lunch break ...Hosing ...and scrubbing as best they can in skirts in suits . . They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks Back to the phone company and record stores too But they're nothing like Billy and me . . 'Cause all I wanna do is have a little fun . . All I wanna do is have a little fun . . . . (to be continued) Well I like a good beer buzz ...early in the mornin' Billy likes to peel the labels off his bottles of Bud He lays each one on the bar then he lights every match In an oversized pack ..letting each one burn right down to his thick fingers before cursing and blowing them out. . . Down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out And he's watching the bottles of Bud As they spin on the floor . . And a happy couple enters the bar Dangerously close to one another The bartender looks up from his want ads . . But all I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one All I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one . . All I wanna do is have some fun Until the sun comes up Over Santa Monica Boulevard . . Otherwise the bar is ours The day and the night and the car wash, too The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars The sun and the moon . . But all I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one All I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling, I'm not the only one . . All I wanna do is have some fun I've got a feeling the party has just begun All I wanna do is have some fun I won't tell you, that you're the only one . . All I wanna do is have some fun Until the sun comes up Over Santa Monica Boulevard . . Until the sun comes up Over Santa Monica Boulevard . .
