"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
C D
says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos of nothing, he says his name is William,
but I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me and I wonder if he's
ever had a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
in a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars on their lunch break
hosing and scrubbin as best they can in skirts in suits
A Bb6
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
A Bb6
Back to the phone company, the record store, too

Well they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
E C7 D
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
E C7 D
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
E C7 B7
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels from his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar then he lights every match in an oversized pack
letting each one burn down to his
thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out
and he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
(Same chords as verse)
Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars
The sun and the moon, but
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun, I got a feeling the party's just begun
All I wanna do is have some fun, I won't tell you that you're the only one
E C7 D E
All I wanna do is have some fun, until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
C B7 E
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Blvd
E C7 D E C7 D E C7 B7 E (E7)

There are two guitars on the recording - one is an acoustic which strums the
chords as shown above (although outside the chorus all you can hear is
its picking noise) and the other is an electric which plays the funky intro
with wah-wah:
+ + + + + + + +

The following is the solo, the first four bars of which are also played twice
over the line "We are drinking beer on Tuesday.." and once over the line
"thick fingers before..".
