Lyrics
la la la la la la la etc
c.
Everybody's having the time of their lives
Everybody but me
Everybody's safe and sound
Everybody but me
Rude boy in the corner with the judge's wife
Everybody's going home eventually
Everybody's going home, everybody but me
v.
On my honor, I'm a goner if I don't get through today
Burn my bankbook; spread its ashes on the bay
Tow my Chevy to the levee; give it one last push for me
Pull my phone out; disconnect my pay TV
c.
Everybody's having the time of their lives
Everybody but me
Everybody's safe and sound
Everybody but me
Rude boy in the corner with the judge's wife
Everybody's going home eventually
It's all so easy for everybody but me
v.
Praise The Lord, Henry Ford, wrote a check to both of them
Even though I never even met the men
Had a doctor and a dentist; they did everything they could
They got to me while my credit was still good
c.
Everybody's having the time of their lives
Everybody but me (etc.)
