Song lyrics

You're drivin' around in the great big car
And ev'rything's a-lookin' all right so far
But you can't-a pay the bill with a big cigar
Who's a-gonna pay the check?

You dance all the night and have a good time
You're tellin' ev'rybody you're a friend of mine
And then you order in the fancy wine
Who's a-gonna pay the check?

That's all right, I'm a-like you fine
I'm a-like you for a friend of mine
But a-put your money on the line
‘Cause-a who's a-gonna pay the check?

Hey, what's-a-matter, you don't have any money, eh?

The people come on over and they sit down
You say to them, "Set 'em up another round"
Well-a that's all right if you're gonna leave-a town
But who's a-gonna pay the check?

I take-a the bus and you take-a the cab
When the bill she's a-come, well I'll see you grab
But that's-a all right if you pay the tab
But who's a-gonna pay the check?

That's all right, I'm a-like you fine
I'm a-like you for a friend of mine
But a-put your money on the line
‘Cause-a who's a-gonna pay the check?

Hey, paisano, it's in your pocket, eh?

You're always a-wearin' the fancy clothes
You makin' a bet on the horse's nose
Well, that's all right if the money she's-a goes
But who's a-gonna pay the check?

Now ev'rybody she's-a think you nice
She's-a think-a we're makin' with the shoes and rice
But when the time she's-a come, a-gonna say no dice
'Cause-a who's a-gonna pay the check?

That's all right, I'm a-like you fine
I'm a-like you for a friend of mine
But a-put your money on the line
'Cause-a who's a-gonna pay the check?

Eh? (Who's-a gonna pay the check?)
Paisano (Who's-a gonna pay the check?)
E's-a ditch (Who's-a gonna pay the check?)
