All Day Long

All Day Long

(verse)

A butcher, a baker, I’m a real big faker

and sometimes it makes me laugh,

So divvy up the bottle, I’ve a yen to set my throttle

and at this age I gotta move fast,

I apologize in advance

for my speech and my unsteady stance,

So take your hat and toss it,

heaven knows I’ve lost it,

Come on baby, let’s dance.

(chorus)

I’m a little bit of romance and I’m a little bit of pig,

I ain’t gonna lie to no girl.

I’m a little bit of Elvis Presley, who never got his gig,

And I’ve been waitin’ for you, babe, all day long

(verse)

A tinker, a tailor, I’m a love boat sailor

and I’m happy to be here,

An amorous gorilla from that drop of pure vanilla

that you place behind each ear,

So if you see me swing and sway,

it ain’t the music that takes me away,

Before I get too far gone, someone turn them stars on,

Come on baby, let’s dance

(bridge)

I’m USDA prime,

long as you can catch me well before nine.

I ain’t looking for a mother or a wife,

but I got me eye on my shelf-life,

Come on babe, I’ll take you up in a whirl,

If you got a better offer you should take it, girl.

The night is young and I’m lookin’ to dance

(verse)

A lawyer, a thief, I’m a love tribe chief

with a tee-pee full of flowers.

I’d love to take you home where the buffalo’s roam

You should pencil in a couple of hours.

So if your moccasins are too tight,

kick ‘em off cause it’s gotta feel just right.

We’ll be just like some juvies

in black and white movies,

Come on baby let’s dance.

(chorus)

I’m a little bit of romance and I’m a little bit of pig,

I ain’t gonna lie to no girl.

I’m a little bit of Elvis Presley, who never got his gig,

And I’ve been waiting for you, babe, all day long.

I been waitin’ for you, babe, all day long.
