You keep looking over but I won't complain I think you've got something if it's all the same I crashed my car on the highway I'd make you more welcome some other day I think I've been hasty in writing you off It's just I hate mornings if I'm feeling rough I'll make you some dinner it'll taste real nice My best friend lost two teeth when he got into a fight

And though it's the end of the week And you've had a good day How can you say these are wonderful times?

I was watching a movie about the Wild West It's funny the hero came out looking second best I could try acting tough, if that's what you'd like People might like that, but not my ex-wife And though it's the end of the week And you've had a good day How can you say these are wonderful times?

And though it's the end of the week And I've got through all that shit How can you possibly say these are wonderful times?

Ooh la la-la, ooh la la-la, ooh la la-la

How can you possibly say these are wonderful times?

Looks Good To Me E Chorus

There's a guy going mad on the telephone Something about he hasn't got no home I'm traveling light, I didn't bring no bag Ditched my woman when she lost her rag The whisky's great The view's not bad Think I'll stay another week

Chorus

I could stay here tonight, I think I'll sleep on it I could stay here tonight, I think I'm into it The way it looks, I'm gonna need a new home This sure looks good to me
