[Spoken intro]
A while back, was about a year ago, I think it was
I had this apartment, San Francisco
I lived on the third floor of this little tiny apartment building
Had a little two rooms and a dog, right
I lived on the third floor and I used to walk around town
And I had, you know, a couple of pairs of Levis
And a couple T-shirts and I thought
I had my shit pretty good together, man, you know
I was out on the streets talking and talking, doing all that shit
And every time I found a nice piece of talent
He went right straight downstairs
To the chick on the second floor
There was another chick on the second floor, right
And I couldn't understand, I couldn't understand
I kept thinking, Janis, why are you doing wrong? Suddenly
Well I so decided to get up one morning, ha ha ha
And check out the chick's action, right
Figure out what she had going that I didn't have going
I got up at 9:30 in the morning
Which I want you to know is an effort on my part
And I got up at 9:30 in the morning, I hid in the stairwell
Right next to the chick's across from her's apartment, right
And I watched her and watched to see what she had, man
That I didn't have
And I'll tell you what she had man
That chick hit the streets at noon
I mean I didn't use to get up till three
That chick was already in the street hustling, man
So I figured out what you gotta do, man
Every time you're looking for a little piece of action
And you ain't getting none, man
Yyou know what you better do, baby
You better try harder, man
Try, try, try just a little bit harder
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
Well I'm gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
So I won't lose, lose, lose him to nobody else, yeah
Hey, I don't care how long it's gonna take you
But if it's a dream I don't want (no I don't really want it)
Yeah if it's a dream I don't want nobody to wake me

I'm gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
So I can give, give, give, give him every bit of my soul
I'm gonna try, oh yeah, just a little bit harder
So I can show, show, show him love with no control, yeah
Hey I don't care how long it's gonna take you
But if it's a dream I don't want (no I don't really want it)
Yeah if it's a dream I don't want nobody to wake me

Hey dig this! Yeah! Yeah-yeah-yeah!

José Cuervo
Quiet, quiet!
I tell you one thing
It sure turned a train of freaks into a party, man! Ha ha ha ha
Didn't it, boys? Alright
Alright, now what should I do?
Alright, I'll do a song, man
And I'll tell you
You could apply it to, well just about anything you want to
But could almost be even called the truth
I wouldn't go that far
I wouldn't heavy up on anybody like that
I'll tell you one thing
Song's got something to say, you can dig it
It's talkin' about everybody's life, man
And what passes by you
And what you miss and what you grab, man
It's a song called: Get It While You Can
Cos it ain't gonna be there when you wake up, man
