In times like these when money's tight
We do the best we can
We eat at home, read books for fun
And stuff money in a can
But now and then, we spend a little
To break the old routine
And I take my lady downtown
To see what's to be seen
Cause when I bring my girl to town
We go all out
We eat like kings
We dance and sing
And laugh and scream and shout
We party like our money's never running out
When I bring my girl to town
We go all out
Now what we do is most unwise
Or so I've been told
For the man who saves his pennies first
Will soon find he has gold
But if trading all life's pleasures
Saves me a measly pile of green
Well, I'd rather treat my lady right
And parade her on the scene
Cause when I bring my girl to town
We go all out
We eat like kings
We dance and sing
And laugh and scream and shout
We party like our money's never running out
When I bring my girl to town
We go all out
Now, life it has it's complications
And we've had our share too
He arrived into his momma's arms
A baby dressed in blue
But we don't let him spoil our fun
No we don't miss a thing
We just drop him off at grandma's house
So I can treat her like a queen
Cause when I bring my girl to town
We go all out
We eat like kings
We dance and sing
And laugh and scream and shout
We party like our money's never running out
When I bring my girl to town
We go all out
