OCEANSIDE CABARET
c. 2009 Ryan Welton

VERSE 1:
I’ll worry ‘bout tomorrow
When I see tomorrow
Lest I borrow trouble today

I’m up for an adventure
Perhaps a risky venture
If only you’ll convince me to play

PRE-HOOK:
Then you break out my credit card
In a moment of disregard
For anything I have to say
And you tersely admonish me
Give me your guarantee
That everything gonna be OK

CHORUS
And, then a whoops, a wha-oh
We’re gettin’ swarmed by police
Whoops, a wha-oh
My skinny ass in the street
Whoops, a wha-oh
A felony’s on my sheet
Just another night
At Oceanside Cabaret

VERSE 2:
I’m meeting with a lawyer
A judge and my employer
Recalling all the facts that suit me

I didn’t know her real age
That she was in the 10th grade
I don’t expect you guys to believe

PRE-HOOK:
That I was there to save souls
To get dancers to heaven
It’s mission work I do on the side
We were enjoying a talk
about the book of Romans
I tell you, brothers, really I tried

CHORUS
But, then a whoops, a wha-oh
We’re gettin’ swarmed by police
Whoops, a wha-oh
My skinny ass in the street
Whoops, a wha-oh
A felony’s on my sheet
Just another night
At Oceanside Cabaret

VERSE 3:
I’m broke and unemployed
I’m practically destroyed
I hope I learned a lesson somehow (NOPE!)

CHORUS
But, then a whoops, a wha-oh
We’re gettin’ swarmed by police
Whoops, a wha-oh
My skinny ass in the street
Whoops, a wha-oh
A felony’s on my sheet
Just another night
At Oceanside Cabaret
