I've had my share of bad times
I've been shooting 'em up, drinking 'em down
Taking them pills, fooling around all my life
But I'm so tired of bad times
I have to change my ways

And I had my share of good times
I've been moving around, living uptown
Laughing my ass off almost every night
But I'm so sore from laughing
I haven't got the will to fight

All my life I have been waiting to find a reason
To give it up or do a lot more every day of my life
I'm gonna wake up every morning, dooloodooloodoo, yeah
Come home every evening, dooloodooloodoo
Just jump into bed and lie there and laugh with my wife

Well, I've had my share of bad times
I've been shooting 'em up, drinking 'em down
Taking them pills, fooling around all my life
But I'm so tired of bad times
I'll have to change my ways

And I've had my share of good times
I've been moving around, living uptown
Laughing my ass off almost every night
But I'm so sore from laughing
I haven't got the will to fight
