When I heard Senator Chuck Grassley’s comment that people not worth $5.5 million waste they money on “booze or women or movies” I figured it would make a good Jimmy Buffet-style song so I did that.

lyrics

I work late almost every day
’Cause I need the overtime
It don’t pay much but the economy’s such
That I tell myself I don’t mind
You get discouraged in a hurry
When you’re doing so much to survive
Every once in a while you gotta give youself a smile
And do something that makes you
glad to be alive

Booze, women, and movies
Are the only things that get me through
My life stinks so I grab a few drinks
and find a gal and a movie worth taking her to
I could never be a millionaire
No matter how hard I tried
So booze, women, and movies
Help me enjoy the ride

I could save every paycheck
And pinch every penny ’til it hollers
No matter how I tried by the time I died
I’d never have a million damn dollars
You see, I gotta pay my car note
I gotta pay for my phone and my lights
And after the rent if it’s not all spent
I’m gonna go out on a Saturday night

For some booze, women, movies
they’re the only thing that get me through
Life is rough and I just make enough
I don’t have any luxuries except these few
My daddy even wrote it down in his will
He said that on the day he died
He wanted booze, women, and movies
To help him enjoy the ride

I could think of a lot worse ways
to throw my money down the drain
I could be dumb and give it to some
politician for his campaign

Instead of booze, women, and movies
Sometimes that’s just what I need
I’m not a dunce, I know you only live once
So give me booze, women, movies and just a little weed
I’ve never asked for a handout
I pay my bills when they’re due
and it’s the booze, women, and movies
That helps me make it through
Yeah, it’s the booze women and movies
That help me make it through
