Lyrics

PART 1
Another Saturday night has come around
Oh I'm drinking beer and just a lyin' around
When my baby comes in says her cousin's feeling down
My baby's gotta go into town

Well she puts on her makeup and her best dress on
She curls her hair and that's not all
She puts something silky underneath her dress
Drenched in perfume from a bottle marked passion number one
Well her cousin must really be sick and down
From something I heard is going around
My baby's got a heart, a heart of gold
My baby's gotta go into town

PART 2
Well, she prances around as happy as can be
Asks me for some money before she leaves
Says there's a TV dinner in the freezer
I ask when will I ever see her
Well, she hopes it will be soon when her cousin's feeling better
And if she's not she'll send me a letter
My baby's got a heart, a heart of gold
My baby's gotta go into town

PART 3
Well, I stay at home and watch TV
Haven't gotta care since I believe
That my baby loves, she loves only me
Taking care of her cousin who is sick as can be
I open up another beer and drink another round
Salute the woman who has to go to town
My baby's got a heart, a heart of gold
My baby's gotta go into town
There she goes...

SOLO (PART 4)

PART 5
Every time I see my friends I have to wonder why
They're so naive to believe their lying wives
I just smile because I realize
She's too busy nursing her cousin to lie
Well my Baby's got to go, go into town
She left out the back door without making a sound
My baby's got a heart, a heart of gold
My baby's gotta go into town

PART 6
Well I hope it will be soon when her cousin's feeling better
But until then I'll be waiting for her letter
My baby's got a heart, a heart of gold

BREAK
My baby's gotta go into town
My baby's gotta go into town
My baby's gotta go into town
My baby's gotta go into town

TAG
My baby's gotta go into town
My baby's gotta go into town

My baby's got a heart, a heart of gold
My baby's gotta go into town
Whew...
