I'VE GOT PLANS
Tommy Thompson & Lenny Rogoff

I been staying up too late. Well, the morning ain't for me.
Daylight never brings much company.
With the ladies of the night, I play the game of chance,
Losin' quarters to the jukebox, buying songs to watch 'em dance.
When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down,
'Cause chasin' midnight ladies ain't the funnest game in town.
Oh, they disappear like dreams. I wake up sleeping in my jeans.
I'm lonesome tonight, but I got plans.

Could be I'll pan for gold, write a novel, or join a band.
I could sell produce from a roadside stand.
Sturdy wife to share my joys, a pair of healthy strappin' boys
They'll lend a helpin' hand. We'll make a fortune off the land.
When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down,
Chew honeycomb and drive a tractor, grow things in the ground.
Oh, the dream that's in my eye is just tomorrow's enterprise.
I may be broke tonight but I got plans.

Haul the proceeds to the bank, and I'll soon have lots of dough.
I'll buy me a villa down in Mexico.
While the mariachis play, I'll go fishin' every day.
I'll cast a net so gaily on some sunny Latin bay.
When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down.
I'll take a course in business at the night school here in town.
Ah, but that'll have to wait, 'cause tonight I got a date.
We'll have a drink, and keep on talking 'bout my plans.
