Playboy

Eddie Cochran · Other Songs - Eddie Cochran

I just wanna be a playboy, play it night an' day boy

Just wanna have lots of fun

Chase the girls and spend lots of mon..

I just wanna be a playboy, 'cause that's the only way boy

To really get a lotta lovin' done, while I'm still young

I don't especially want a limousine

I don't especially want a Cadillac

I just want a hot rod machine and really wreck a back

I just wanna be a playboy, just wanna be the real McCoy

I don't really want a steady girl

I kinda like to give 'em all the whirl

I just wanna be a playboy, I just wanna spread lots of joy

I gotta get a lotta lovin' done, while I'm still young playboy!
