Lyrics

She was lying naked on the ground
her world was spinning round from all
alcohol she'd downed
and I was standing there
while other people stared
just outside the bar
even the passing cars were
slowing to a stop
and someone called the cops
I hear a siren now
it echos in this town
I went and grabbed her and
and told her of my plan
soon we're running through the crowd
and she looked back and started to shout

I see you drinking having fun, get it while the getting's good
I see your moments almost done, get it while the getting's good
as pride cometh before a fall, get it while the getting's good
The door is closing on us all, get it while the getting's good

the next thing that I saw this police officer left his door ajar as he exited his car
and ran straight for me but tripped in the alley and tore something in his knee
and then he started to scream

I see you drinking having fun, get it while the getting's good
I see your moments almost done, get it while the getting's good
as pride cometh before a fall, get it while the getting's good
The door is closing on us all, get it while the getting's good

Get it while the gettin's Good!
Get it while the gettin's Good!

What now should I do I'm not wishing to be rude but I don't know this dude and don't like his attitude
I'll lead my girl away, free to fight another day, I distinctly heard her say, "you living on the edge my way"

I see you drinking having fun, get it while the getting's good
I see your moments almost done, get it while the getting's good
as pride cometh before a fall, get it while the getting's good
The door is closing on us all, get it while the getting's good

Get it while the gettin's Good!
Get it while the gettin's Good!
Get it while the gettin's Good!
Get it while the gettin's Good!
