Yeah, the shoutin' and the shootin'
Oh, yeah, I don't know
Well, I'm so tired of hearing
I'm so tired of hearing, I'm so tired of hearing
About the shoutin' and the shootin'
When it's all said and done
Yeah, the lyin' and the cheatin'
Oh, the lyin' and deceivin'
Oh, yeah, I don't know, just don't know
Well, I'm so tired of hearing
I'm so tired of hearing, I'm so tired of hearing
About the lyin' and the cheatin'
When it's all said and done
I think I'd rather have fun, yeah
When it's all said and done
I think I'd rather have fun
Oh, yeah
Well, the talkin' and squawkin', yeah
The talk, talk, talkin' and squawkin'
Oh, yeah, I don't know
Well, I'm so tired of hearing
I'm so tired of hearing, I'm so tired of hearing
About the talkin' and the squawkin'
I'm so tired of hearing
I'm so tired of hearing, I'm so tired of hearing
About the lyin' and the cheatin'
I'm so tired of hearing
I'm so tired of hearing, I'm so tired of hearing
About the shoutin' and the shootin'
When it's all said and done
I think I'd rather have fun
C'mon! Have fun!
When it's all said and done
I think I'd rather have fun, yeah
When it's all said and done
I think I'd rather have fun, yeah
When it's all said and done
I think I'd rather have fun
Come on!
Oh, rather have fun
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
