Lyrics

Time of my Life
Copyright © 2007/2017 Jim Ferrie Music

Hey Baby, I'm so pleased to see you
Got real good news for you
Got the keys to my new apartment
Ain't big, but big enough for two

The ceiling isn't tall
And the bedroom's kinda small
There's a livin' room with a view
I want you to stay
Move your gear in Saturday, coz
I just want to have the time of my life with you

Hey Baby, if you call your brother, maybe
He could move your gear for you
When he's gone, we could lounge on the sofa
And maybe crack a bottle or two

We could snuggle down
Fool around or act the clown
We could watch a movie or two
I don't really care
Just as long as you are there coz
I just want to have the time of my life with you

Sure, I'm a little broke
But I'm gonna start a new job, week on Monday
Then we can save for our dream vacation
Or, we can get a dog
Take him for a walk down through the park on Sunday
I don't care what we do, so long as
I can have the time of my life with you

Hey Babe, you could call your sister, say
Our place ain't big enough for three!
And Babe, I'd even kiss your mother
If you'd say you'd share your life with me

When we've settled down
We can stroll around the town
Do whatever we wanna do
I don't really care
Just as long as you are there
I just want to have the time of my life with you
