Life of Riley

Pere Ubu

Somebody better put out the cat
Somebody better wind the clock
Somebody better shut out the light
Somebody better wake me up
Since she's gone it's a new world
and nobody's ever gonna be the same
but ain't nobody better cry me a river
and ain't nobody better cry me a sea
Every day is a holiday

Gentle hands of time
come to me
Why don't you soothe my furrowed brow?
Ain't nobody better say to me
how I mighta done better
cuz I don't know how
Every day is a holiday

Somebody better go fetch the beer
Somebody better come in out of the rain
I hear the sound of somebody leaving
It reminds me of that best ole friend of mine
but ain't nobody better cry me a river
and ain't nobody better cry me a sea
Every day is a holiday

Somebody better fetch that tv over here
Somebody better go fish
