Well, I've done more than my share

I've got a ticket on a 747

When I get that Friday midnight flight down south

I'll sell the story to the Sun

So, if you get that early train next Monday

Say I won't go down without a fight

Even if I'm doing time by Sunday

When Friday comes along, I'm gonna be alright
