Blagging Boogie Blues

I've got the television on and it's a quarter to nine
 No birds, no booze, no women, no wine
 I've got some money in my pocket 'cause I just got paid
 But I can't seem to score for a date they're afraid
 My car's in the parking lot and being repaired
 It's costing a fortune I shouldn't have cared
 I got the phone by my side waiting for her to ring
 All the time I'm at home and that just ain't my thing
 I've got a sunshine smile I got from San Tropez
 Had a wash and a shave and I was feeling OK
 I've got some brand new shoes and a suit tailor made
 But I can't seem to score for a date they're afraid
 So I decided to get out and have a real good time
 I'm cutting loose from this room 'cause I feel it's a crime
 I sat around the house and wasted every night
 When I could be out blagging or causing a fight
