the last payday þarký sözü

danny was an old-time bourbon street barker
who wanted the same as charlie parker
and always cued-up a ball
thinking he was one rack away
but even when you run the table
the check still seems small
when it´s your last payday

the shallow pocket changer
who always took advantage of strangers
tried to make a five-grand grab
with a split second getaway
but he forgot that a bag of money
ain´t worth much on a slab
when it´s your last payday

that line about luck just can´t be bought
you´re always lucky ´til you get caught
trouble will find you, no need to look
and luck won´t help when they close the book

i know a lot of young fellas in here
especially those on the highest tier
still want to believe
that santa comes in a sleigh
they´re right about the long white beard
but wrong about christmas eve
what´s christmas, when it´s your last payday
