Don't Waste Ma Time

You can waste my money, waste my booze

Those are things that I can choose to lose

Waste my money, waste my booze

But don't waste my time

For I can make more money, buy more booze

That's not what gives me the blues

For I can make more money, buy more booze

But I can't make more time

I earn the greenbacks, save them too

They hit your fingers, slip right through

The money never sticks to you

You never heard of banks

And then you go and ask a favour

Bill and Bob and Tom and Dave

And I pay back the cash they gave

And you receive the thanks

You can waste my money, waste my booze

Those are things that I can choose to lose

Waste my money, waste my booze

But don't waste my time

For I can make more money, buy more booze

That's not what gives me the blues

For I can make more money, buy more booze

But I can't make more time

Yes, darling, if you get the blues

A little booze is what to use

But just remember who's is whose

When you go back for more

And then if you are feeling dry

I'll tell you, honey, what to try

Go where the ocean meets the sky

And drink your way to shore

You can waste my money, waste my booze

Those are things that I can choose to lose

Waste my money, waste my booze

But don't waste my time

For I can make more money, buy more booze

That's not what gives me the blues

For I can make more money, buy more booze

But I can't make more time

Yes, time is money, so they say

And if you take my cash away

I need more time to make more pay

Time is money too

So if you've used up all your dough

I'll tell you, darling, where to go

It's black and blazing down below

With fire and brimstone too

You can waste my money, waste my booze
