Hit it!
This ain’t no disco
It ain’t no country club either
This is LA!
“All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,”
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It’s apropos
Of nothing
He says his name’s William but I’m sure,
He’s Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he’s plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he’s ever had a day of fun in his whole
life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they’re nothing like Billy and me, cause
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
I like a good beer buzz early in the morning
And Billy likes to peel the labels
From his bottles of Bud
He shreds them on the bar
Then he lights every match in an oversized pack
Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers
before blowing and cursing them out
And he’s watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on
the floor
And a happy couple enters the bar
Dangerously close to one another
The bartender looks up from his want ads
[Chorus]
Otherwise the bar is ours,
The day and the night and the car wash too
The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty
cars
The sun and the moon but
[Chorus]
Prevod pesme
Sve što želim
Idemo!
Nije ovo disko
Nije ni neki kantri klub
Ovo je LA!
“Sve što želim je da se malo zabavim pre nego što umrem,”
Iz čista mira izjavi čovek pored mene
To je apropo
ničega
On kaže da se zove Vilijam ali sigurna sam
da je on Bili ili Mak ili Badi
I prosto mi je gadan
I pitam se da li je taj ikad u životu doživeo jedan
zabavan dan
Pijemo pivo u podne jednog utorka
U jednom baru preko puta džinovske auto perionice
Dobri ljudi sveta peru svoja kola
Na pauzi za ručak, prskaju crevom i ribaju
Koliko već mogu u suknjama i odelima
Voze svoje sjajne datsone i bjuike
Nazad do telefonske kompanije i prodavnice ploča
Ma, oni uopšte nisu kao Bili i ja, jer
[Refren]
Sve što želim je da se malo zabavim
Imam neki osećaj da nisam jedina
Sve što želim je da se malo zabavim
Imam neki osećaj da nisam jedina
Sve što želim je da se malo zabavim
Dok sunce ne izađe nad bulevarom Santa Monika
Volim kad me pivo lepo drmne rano ujutru
A Bili voli da odlepljuje etikete
Sa svojih flaša Bada
Cepka ih za barom
Pa onda zapali svaku šibicu u prevelikom pakovanju
Puštajući svaku od njih da izgori do njegovih debelih prstiju
pre nego što dune i otera ih dođavola
I posmatra te flaše Bada dok se vrte na
podu
A neki golupčići ulaze u bar
Opasno blizu jedno drugom
Šanker izviruje iza svojih poternica*
[Refren]
Inače, bar je naš,
Dan i noć, kao i auto perionica
Šibice i Badvajzeri i čista i prljava
kola
Sunce i mesec ali
[Refren]
