How Long You Wanna Live Anyway Lyrics - Stray Cats

Well, it's no good to smoke 

And it's no good to drink 

What the hell you're doing, boy? 

Don't you never ever think? 

Well, you're killing yourself man 

And you're just a kid 

So you better slow down 

Or you wish that you did 

Maybe I'll only last a year 

And a day but 

How long you wanna live, anyway? 

Well, I just don't care 

And I just can't be bothered 

Well, I'm sick of taking crap from 

My mother and my father 

Well, I'm looking real cool 

My hair all grease 

Well, there ain't no way I'm gonna 

Live like a priest 

Maybe I'll only last a year 

And a day but 

How long you wanna live, anyway? 

Well, you're growing old man and 

You ain't having no fun 

Well, I'm still young and I'm getting 

Me some 

Well, you can hide away 

And you can live like a monk 

And I'll be a low down dirty skunk 

Maybe I'll only last a year 

And a day 

Maybe I'll only last a year 

And a day 

Maybe I'll only last a year 

And a day but 

Like how long you wanna live 

Anyway
