Thousand miles away from home, playin' in the band
Doin' all those smokey bars up and down the land
Playin' all your favorite tunes, man it sure is grand
If you want some fun in live, get yourself a band

[Chorus]
Well, get yourself a band boy, play a happy tune
Make the guys all jump around, watch the gals all spoon
Get yourself a band boy, you'd be doin' fine
You guitar-pickin' son-of-a-gun, have yourself a time

Shakin' in my bed at night, never before two
You kids can do as well as we, time is gettin' new
You can stay in bed till twelve, you can go get canned
If you want some fun in live, get yourself a band

[Chorus]

No more gettin' up at eight an' diggin' in the ground
All you gotta think about is your guitar sound
Some people work in gem stores, some on hotdog stands
If you want some fun in live, get yourself a band

[Chorus]

Get yourself a guitar boy!
Be a star!
Buy a car!
