Well my creditors are makin' a killing
I'm in debt to everybody in town
They're gonna come around, and pull my gold fillings
Before the undertaker takes me down
This high finance is getting way outta hand
When you've done dancing
You're gonna have to pay the band
It's a long time with the care payments
I'm two weeks late on the rent
The credit cards ain't movin' no-where
Loaded up a 21 percent
Say it slowly, so why can't I understand
When you've done dancin'
You're gonna have to pay the band
Pay the band, pay the band, baby
That's the name of that scene
I'm robbin' from Peter just to pay to Paul
Livin' beyond my means
Come on and live your life to the limit
Pull all the stops out while you can
When you've done dancin'
You're gonna have to pay the band
When you've done dancin'
You're gonna have to pay the band
IRS is upon me, keepin track of every nickel I own
I'm never gonna see six digits
Cause there's only 5 in my zip code
Lord have mercy on this working man
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band
Pay the band, pay the band, baby that's the name of that scene
I'm robbin' from Peter just to pay to Paul
Livin' beyond my means, come on and live your life to the limit
Pull all the stops out while you can
When you've done dancin'
You're gonna have to pay the band
When you've done dancin'
You're gonna have to pay the band
