There's no time, hurry up
drink your coffee in a paper cup
kiss your wife on the doorstep
like every morning
leave the train hurry up
there are plenty of paper cups
that's the price to be a man
in the city
it's about 8 o’ clock
she brings your coffee in a paper cup
pretty blonde on high heels
how does it feel?
paper cup, paper cup
will fill you up with gold and bucks
but i'm paddling in the sand
i'll soon join the band
paper cup, paper cup
will fill you up with gold and bucks
i'm paddling in the sand
but i'll soon join the band
paper cup, paper cup
will fill you up with gold and bucks
robbed and digged our graves
with a golden spade
it's a long way to the top
good friends you'll have to snub
holding a big wheel
how does it feel ?
how does it feel ?
paper cup, paper cup
coudn't make these gold and bucks
sitting on the doorstep
with no one to lean on
paper cup paper cup
coudn't make these gold and bucks
please a penny or a smoke
for a broken man
it's a long way to the top
good friends you'll have to snub
singing this old refrain
let it rain
let it rain
oh what a shame !
there's no time, hurry up
drink your coffee in a paper cup
kiss your wife on the doorstep
like every morning
