If There Ain`t There Ought`a Be — текст песни (Stuart Marty)

Well, I hear there`s a place somewhere down south,
Where you don`t need a hook to catch a small mouth.
No rod, no reel, no bait, no doubt:
Just whistle from the bank and they all walk out.

And they say there`s a town not far from here,
You can trade your debt for gas and beer.
No boss, no rent, no sweat, no cares:
Where everybody is a millionaire.

If there ain`t there oughta be.
Just think of the endless possibilities.
A place where every day is Friday night,
With your arms wrapped up tight around me:
If there ain`t there oughta be.

And I hear there`s a book that you can buy,
That`ll paraphrase the meaning of life.
What`s love? Why me? Where`s God? How high?
Word for word, why women cry.

If there ain`t there oughta be.
Just think of the endless possibilities.
A place where every day is Friday night,
With your arms wrapped up tight around me:
If there ain`t there oughta be.

A place for me to make my dreams come true.
I wish. A wish upon a star will do.
A fully fledged, foolproof guarantee
If there ain`t there oughta be.

Instrumental break.

If there ain`t there oughta be.
Just think of the endless possibilities.
A place where every day is Friday night,
With your arms wrapped up tight around me:
Well, if there ain`t there oughta be.
Well, if there ain`t there oughta be.
