I want my good time up forever – maybe that’s enough for me
so everytime I take a flivver – I got my return journey
there’s a girl she’s very ok – always fix me up with food
we make noise in by the yard – & we sell hoochie-koochie too
Bonaventure-I’ve been everywhere
Bonaventure-it’s a wide wide place
born to rule it-maybe you don’t care
about where you go or about where you stay
my good friend boy he’s a friend – yeh he’s a boy & he’s a face
& his attitude is that – we can walk ’round any place
we don’t get in by the window – we gots tickets & grease pay
& we make our loot a loot a – skankin’ right enough from way
I don’t run & I don’t hide – when I run from you
I don’t run & I don’t hide – making sure I’m up tonight
never run I never hide – I’m blue blue blue
never run I never hide – I know which way is up tonight
(where do ya think your going my friend I mean now, eh?-everywhere)
will you hush my naughty mouth – & bar my journey out of bounds
take the mince out of my step – & hold my tongue & shoot me down
if that takes my time & money – still don’t see how I lose out
looking at my next contender – makes me laugh until I shout
