[Verse 1]
Well, we like to have some friends around
Do the twist to Ray Charles and James Brown
After lunch, I'll maybe take a nap
I like a nap before a scrap

[Verse 2]
Honey, pass me more of them peas
Mm, I do like these
And let me have some more of those
More steak and potatoes, yeah

[Verse 3]
In a little while I'm going downtown
Maybe take me one or two rounds
I'm gonna knock that man clean out
He's going down, no doubt

[Chorus]
Maybe I was born on a bad-luck day
Born under a bad sign
But today is okay, yeah
Today's just fine

[Verse 4]
Baby, you can read my mind
I'll be home just after nine
You're the best medicine I know
Tonight we're gonna let it all go
[Verse 5]
Put on that pretty, silk shirt
Put on that tight, black skirt
Put on those heels so black
We can party on when I get back

[Chorus]
Maybe I was born on a bad-luck day
Born under a bad sign
But today is okay, yeah
Today's just fine
