It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town The only way to get there's to go straight down There's no bathroom, and there is no sink The water out of the tap is very Hard to drink Very hard to drink You, wait til tomorrow You, wait til tomorrow You say that money, isn't everything But I'd like to see you live without it You think you can keep on going living like a king Ooh babe, but I strongly doubt it Very hard to drink Very hard to drink You gonna wait til, fat boy Fat boy, wait til tomorrow You gonna wait til, fat boy Fat boy, wait til tomorrow You, wait til tomorrow You, wait til tomorrow You gonna wait til, fat boy Fat boy, wait til tomorrow You gonna wait til, fat boy Fat boy, wait until tomorrow
