Don't stop
Charlie and the Bachelors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gonna go downtown get me off the farm
Find a pretty little girl
Take her by the arm get a whiskey and a beer
In the mood to play
If the rain don't stop today

Well, I worked all summer in the goddamn sun
When the boss ain't lookin'
Gonna have to run down to Josephine Street
In the mood to play
If the rain don't stop today

Keep on pissin' you can drown this place
Look at the sky wash this dirt off my face
Been workin' all summer, in the mood to play
If the rain don't stop today

Say hi say howdy say see you around
Well, they ain't made a good time
I ain't found tell the weatherman
Send that stuff my way
So the rain won't stop today

Keep on pissin' you can drown this place
Look at the sky wash this dirt off my face
Been workin' all summer, in the mood to play
If the rain don't stop today




Been workin' all summer, in the mood to play
If the rain don't stop today

@somerandomguyonthenet Man, you're confusing the things.

I said "CANNON" not "OFFICIAL".

All the comics of Archie, IDW and Fleetway (when they launched Sonic comics) are official and approve for Sega of America.
But that's doesn't mean that they're cannon to the games, they doesn't even follow the same history.

That's what I mean.
The comics IDW are official and approve by Sega, but that doesn't make it cannon to the games because Sega like how the things are work right now.
