The bad news or the good?

I was driving down to New Orleans

Gonna party down at Martigras

When all of the sudden my engine started knockin

And I slowed down to a crawl

So I pulled into a station

And the old grease monkey

Took a look up under the hood

With a caffeine smile he said

Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?

Good news or the bad news

                                                                                       Sometimes it’s the same

Sometimes it’s not your fault

Sometimes you’re to blame

When the skies turn dark

And a voice says you’re not

Livin life like you should

Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?

Took the bus down to Bourbon Street

I was haven myself a ball

When all of the sudden this cop says buddy

Put your hands up against the wall

He took me to the station

The judge said guilty

Then he asked me if I understood

I just shook my head when he said

Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?

Chorus

Three days later I jumped bail

I was hitchhiking for a ride

When this hot brunette in a red corvette  

Came and pulled up by my side

I jumped out of my skin

When she said hop in

Do you wanna go to Hollywood?

I said baby let’s go and

Do you wanna know the bad news or the good?

Chorus

Do you wanna hear the bad news

 Do you wanna hear the bad news

 Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?
