when i was a kid I went to the music store
to become a star
but I fucked up and bought a ukulele
instead of a guitar
Now all the decent pickers cringe and laugh
at my voice … or vest
They kicked me out of the circle
You know what?
I'll take the rest
I'll take the rest
And you can have your nest
And I'll take the rest
Now I went down to the local pub
and I was trying to score
but it was getting pretty late
and all the girls looked like…. taken
I thought of all the nice girls from my past
well there's definitely none here now
so you know what?
I'll take the rest
I'll take the rest
With no regrets
And I'll take the rest
Now I know life ain't a roulette wheel
but I think it needs to be said
that If you take all the black
then I'll take all the red
and I'm not about to be your fool
but there's a lot of things in my head
just remember to follow that golden rule
as we lay awake in bed
Because I'm not picky and I don't care
what it is you do
Sometimes the best things in life are free
but they're also easy to lose
Remember a better time?
We've all been pissed.
Yeah, you can have your little schemes
You know what?
I'll take the rest
I'll take the rest
And you can place your bets
And I'll take the rest
