One of these days I'll make some money And buy myself those things that I want Acrylic paints, acoustic guitar strings, a new bicycle seat For my ride over to your house each night And one of these days I'll get a real job One that actually pays Like my dad had
You know my father, the bartender Used to wear a suit to work Before he hit the drink The old man used to do a lot of things
One of these days I'll give up And give in to the man
