Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

I used to hide my Camels in a paper bag

I only took them out when it was safe to drag

My first sixteen years in a Catholic-boy suit

One father with a sixer and a steel-toe boot

He said son we're all...

Here today, gone tomorrow

Here today, gone tomorrow

One night in the mirror I saw a movie star

So I flew to Hollywood in a neighbor's car

A pack of No-Doz I'm a bundle of nerves

Laughing out loud as the highway curves

'Cause you see we're all just...

Here today, gone tomorrow

Here today, gone tomorrow

Twenty-two miles out of Pasadena

I picked up a hiker named Tina

Now we've only been here a couple of weeks

Soakin' up the sun, the drugs and the freaks

We hit it off, so we moved in together

Got a cat named Ringo and it purred like leather

We robbed a bank in Santa Monica

Bought a Caddy and a gold harmonica

We'd ride by day, we'd play by night

We're makin' love every night

Here today, gone tomorrow

Here today, gone tomorrow

So we went up to Hef's to meet some bunnies

I saw Hugh, he was actin' funny

He handed me some grass and a vodka & gin

That was about the time that Jack Webb walked in

He said, "Son I'm gonna tell you something

And it ain't pretty

There's a thousand ways to die in this naked city!"

Here today, gone tomorrow

Here today, gone tomorrow

Here today, gone tomorrow

You know we're

Here today and gone tomorrow

Don't worry about it, pop
