Mm-hmm, yeah, mm-hmm, yeah
Well I get up ev'ry mornin', thinkin' today might be the day
when my landlord stops a-callin', and my luck's about to change
and all these bills that ain't been paid I can forget (those I can forget)
It ain't happened yet. (ain't happened yet)
I keep feelin' out the papers, I keep waitin' by the phone,
when Ed McMahon comes a-knocking, I'll be sure to be at home,
It'll be like Christmas in July when I cash the check, (when I cash the check)
It ain't happened yet, oh no. (ain't happened yet)
But I'm feelin' optimistic, I packed my bags and got my ticket
for when my ship comes rollin' in... I guess I'll be alright 'til then.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... Mm-hmm... Oh yeah, it ain't happened yet...
I been standin' at the station, even got on my Sunday best
and I got my reservation, waitin' on the Good Life Express,
and I can't wait to get out from under all this debt
It ain't happened yet, uh-huh. (ain't happened yet)
You say that "Love is trancendental," that money just can't buy
that my problem's purely mental, and that true love will survive
well excuse me while I place another bet, it ain't happened yet.
No no no no no
But I'm feelin' optimistic, I packed my bags and got my ticket
for when my ship comes rollin' in... I guess I'll be alright 'til then.
bop bop bop bop whoa whoa whoa oh yeah a huh-uh, it ain't happened yet
I'm gonna pay my rent with guitar (I want y'all to check this out)
that's why I'm movin' to the East Side, lookin' for a free ride,
on that Good Life, Good Life Express
Good Life Express, Oh yeah
that's why you know that I'll be,
waitin' on the good, waitin' on the Good Life,
Good Life Express
waitin' on the good, waitin' on the Good Life,
don't you know that I've been,
wait-in' on that,
I'm gonna find the Good Life if it's the la-a-ast thing I do,
Ba-by...
