I got drunk with a real nice guy last night
In a mood to talk or fight
And he said, what`s the matter
You don`t look like you do so bad
I said I just been taking for everything I had
Someone took a fancy to my wallet
and my coat
So what you smiling at - ain`t you been in that boat
It`s something that there really should be
Something done about
He said don`t knock it sonny
That`s the way I started out
And now I got a nice suit
I got a nice car
It`s been a nice day
Don`t tell me that crime don`t pay
Okay
