Lucy jumped from the 39th floor
Said she just couldn't face another poor man
Every juke box stuck on "who's next"
They almost got me when jimmy said

Let's get lost
But we're gonna fall
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

Penny walked in with that love in vain look
Said every last man should be hanging from a meat hook
She looked in my eye singing "marry me bill"
I loosened my tie just as jimmy said

Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates

And I was so depressed today...

Bobby said "we're going to be rich quick"
You buy a brand new car-you get automatic cash back
Pick up a parking lot-no money down
He was counting the cost just as jimmy said

Let's get lost
Go work on a farm
A change of weather couldn't do you no harm
Let's get lost
Pick up your feet
Don't tempt late, boy, get a pair of cheap skates
Get lost,let's get lost
Come on let's get lost
Let's get lost
Go buy a pair of cheap skates
