Illy Joel - Happy Hour Hot [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:

Tuesday night and I'm out with my dudes
Half off the drafts, have off the food
It's soft on the wallet, hard on the liver
Two for one dinners, 3 dollar single liquors

Usually a cheap night no ladies in sight
Until i came back from the pisser and looked to my right
Nearly would've missed her, my timing was precise
Say hi, introduced myself, and she said goodnight?

Won't you stay for one drink? It's on my bill
Not trying to get you naked, but maybe one day you will
I try again with "hi", she responds with a "hey"
Small talk, number exchange, she says "okay"

One day we might be more than friends
So let's forget high standards and happy hour again
We can meet at the pub 24 hours later on the dot
Five star eventually, but for now you're happy hour hot!

Chorus:

You're low on the dough, but still want to get it
Happy hour hot - low expectations
You're in the mood, but refuse to commit
Happy hour hot - and that's about it

When you wallets looking thin, like olsen twins in 2000
Happy hour - it's where good things begin

Your down on your luck and need to get lucky
Hit the bar at 3 and find a happy hour hottie

Verse 2:

Not breaking our banks, just breaking the ice
Not interested in spending money just our time
More wine than dine with a pocket full of dimes
Two belly's full of drinks, yours and mine

This is basic economics, thinking logically
Start with heart without expenses costly
Are you in for the cash or want the company?
I'd rather you want M - E, not my money

Happy hour makes me feel like a C-E-O
Of a fortune 500 with a pocket full of dough
Happy hour is over so we should go!
Taxi cab is on me and my crib ain't closed

No rushing into relations, my fridge is stocked
We can happy hour in my kitchen, living room or lawn
From the bar, to my place, and the sun's still up
Forever happy hour here, let me refill your cup!

Spoken: The first song that I ever learned was song number one from the John Thompson music book. Alright? It has the lyrics underneath. Off we go to music land! Na na na na… take my hand. I started riffing on it right away!
