Bobby Doll and Big Jim Picato Call me up every single day They don't work and they don't want to Come on down to some damn cafe Bobby Doll tells me "Live in the moment" Don't get too far ahead- Don't live in the past I blink my eyes And the moment is over I guess another day Has passed But it's just another day It's just another day Watching girls on the street Well, that alright with me But it's just another day Bobby Doll and Big Jim Picato Always there with their free advice They've got pearl handled pistols Underneath their vests They want me to go out drinking With them tonight But it's just another day It's just another day Watching girls on the street Well, that alright with me But it's just another day You got to clean white sheets in the morning Conversation all afternoon Bobby Doll and Big Jim Picato, baby And me and you But it's just another day It's just another day Watching girls on the street Well, that alright with me But it's just another day But it's just another day It's just another day Watching girls on the street Well, that alright with me But it's just another day
