| 1."I'd fool around and have a ball." have a ball - to enjoy yourself very much: Is this phrase 'have a ball' still common nowadays? Does anyone know where the phrase originate? 2. Is it true? can't get sb. off my mind = can't get sb. out of my mind (i.e. can't stop thinking about sb.) 3. " And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me. That's too bad" Does 'free' mean single or still available? Is it a common usage here? Thanks, ____________ The Song I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay Ain't it sad And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me That's too bad In my dreams I have a plan If I got me a wealthy man I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball Money, money, money Must be funny In the rich man's world Money, money, money Always sunny In the rich man's world Aha-ahaaa All the things I could do If I had a little money It's a rich man's world A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind Ain't it sad And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me That's too bad So I must leave, I'll have to go To Las Vegas or Monaco And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same |
