There he stood and there we left,
Outside the flashing neon sign,
With the smell of cheap cigars,
And the hope of sweet perfume,
And his heart it was reeling,
With the thrill of it all,
All to do and only hours,
He said all this is all yours.
You can have it all,
You can take it all away,
From where we left off,
Living it all your way,
If you'll stand in my shoes,
If you'll do what I do,
On wages day,
On wages day.
And the cap from Disneyland,
That his cousin she brought back,
Stays open in his hand,
From one week to another,
And this long narrow land,
Is full of possibility,
All to do and only hours,
He said all this is all yours.
You can have it all,
You can take it all away,
From where we left off,
Living it all your way,
If you'll stand in my shoes,
If you'll do what I do,
On wages day,
On wages day.
