The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Live while you're livin', 'cause you know what they said,
Don't matter how long you live, you're a long time dead.
I said no use to worry, no use to fret,
I'd like a million dollars but I ain't gonna bet.
I'm alright tonight, and I'll do just what I want.
Tell everybody in the neighborhood,
That I want to party, want to party good.
And I don't care what the people don't allow,
I'm gonna have a good time any old how.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want. Oww!
{Erik - Solo}
Whoo!
Live while you're livin', 'cause you know what they said,
Don't matter how long you live, you're a long time dead.
I said no use to worry, no use to fret,
I'd like a million dollars but I ain't gonna get.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want ....
{Dave - Solo}
When I hold you in my arms,
Love can't do no wrong,
And when I hold you tight,
Love gonna do me right.
(Tell everybody in the neighborhood!)
(I want to party, want to party good!)
And I don't care what the people don't allow,
I'm gonna have a good time any old how.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want.
I'm alroit tonoit, and I do just what I want.
{Goonerisms}
