Empty pockets never stopped me from singing a blue streak, no
And I don't think the Devil's ever gonna give me back, I don't think so
'Cause stayin' 'round here takes patience, it's like a full time occupation
I've become a diplomaniac, yes I did, baby

Hey mean old gal you know the cross-town bus just rolled
Yeah, I'm the same old number but we still got time to go

Oh I say Mama, "Living ain't a luxury, no"
Oh I say Mama, "And a little ain't enough for me"
No it ain't, no it ain't baby

Yeah I'm believing that you're needin' your relaxation
But honey tell me can you tell that story twice? I don't think so, Mama
'Cause there's a function at the junction, I think ya better get it all ready girl
See I was born without a silver spoon but I'm gonna make a stir, yes I am

Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle one summer break
And then I kissed her on her Daddy's boat and shot across the lake
And I was singin' it

Oh I say Mama, "Living ain't a luxury, no"
Oh I say Mama, "And a little ain't enough for me"
No it ain't baby, no it ain't

Mmm, said, "A little ain't enough, baby"
Baby, please! Little ain't enough, yeah, wow

Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle one summer break
Same summer that I kissed her on her Daddy's boat
And shot across the lake, yeah

Oh I say Mama, "Still living ain't a luxury
Oh I say Mama, "A little ain't enough for me"
Oh I say Mama, "Living ain't a luxury"
Oh I say Mama, "And a little ain't enough for me"
