it was my lucky day today on avenue a
when a lady in a limousine drove my way
she said, “dah-ling, be a dear, haven’t slept in a year i need your help to make my neighbors yappy dog disappear!”
“this akita-evita just won’t shut up! i believe if you play non-stop that pup will breathe its very last high-strung breath
i’m certain that cur will bark itself to death”
today for you-tomorrow for me
today for you-tomorrow for me
we agreed on a fee- a thousand dollars gurantee,
tax-free – and a bonus if i trim her tree
now who could fortell that it would go so well
but sure as i am here
that dog is now in doggy hell
after an hour-evita-in all her glory
on the window ledge of that 23rd story
like thelma and louise did when they got the blues
swan dove into the courtyard of the gracie mews
today for you-tomorrow for me
today for you-tomorrow for me
(drum solo)
back on the street where i met my sweet
where he was moaning and groaning on the
cold concrete
the nurse took him home for some
mercurochrome
and i dressed his wounds and got him back on his feet
sing it!
today for you-tomorrow for me
today for you-tomorrow for me
i said
today for you-tomorrow for me
today for you-tomorrow
for me!
