[Verse 1]
I don't carry no torch, no
Money don't make my day
Whatever it is I do
I do it my own way

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to walk like a man
Do the best I can
Basically, I'm here to have a good time

[Chorus]
Life is long
Life can be alright
Oh, it's a curious thing
Life is long
Life can be alright
It's a curious thing

[Verse 2]
I won't run for cover, man, no
Politics won't do
Whatever it is, it is
It ain't enough to see me through

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to walk like a man
Do the best I can
Basically, I'm here to have a good time
[Chorus]
Life is long
Life can be alright
Oh, it's a curious thing
Life is long
Life can be alright
It's a curious thing
Life is long
Life can be alright
It's such a curious thing
Life is long
Life can be alright
Oh, it's a curious thing

[Outro]
Basically, I'm here to have a good time (A good time)
That's all I really wanna do (Do)
And how can it be anything but a good time (A good time)
If I get to spend it with you?
Basically, I'm here to have a good time now (A good time)
Oh, that's all I really wanna do (Do)
How can it be anything but a good time (A good time)
If I get to spend it with you?
I'm on route to have a good time now (A good time)
That's all I really wanna do (Do)
And how could it be anything but a good time, oh-oh (A good time)
If I get to spend it with you now, babe?
Such a good time now, babe (A good time)
(Do)
(A good time)
