Take What You Can Get

lyrics

Life is rough and tough
can get the best of us
Some people get mad
resort to fisticuffs

But if you play it cool
and play by the rules
When you’re on top
you won’t be playing the fool
but there's just ones hitch
with the flick of a switch
life can make you it's bitch

Take what you can get
While you can get it
Take what you can get
While you can get it
While the gettin’ is good

One minute you’re up
and the next your down
One day you’re slummin’
the next you're wearing the crown
Don’t take it for granted
‘cause this world is slanted
Don’t fall asleep
or you’ll be transplanted
one day you're stinkin' rich
sing in perfect pitch
the next you're diggin' a ditch

Take what you can get
While you can get it
Take what you can get
While you can get it
While the gettin’ is good

Whether it’s milk or honey
love, friends, or cash money
Lick it up drink it up
while it’s still sunny
For as long as you can
and it’s understood
Get it while it’s hot
and the gettin’ is good
For as long as you can
and it’s understood
Get it while it’s hot
and the gettin’ is good

Take what you can get
While you can get it
Take what you can get
While you can get it
While the gettin’ is good
