[Lyric] Number One (Steely Dan)

Unexpected rain, car stuck out in the mud
Today might be my lucky day
Hostile friends of friends, please spare me your grief
It’s my firm belief that I should have stayed in bed

Something’s telling me when such a day is done
Child, you’ve got to watch out for number one
Number one

My cough is getting worse, I’m too sick to rehearse
I might go to the doctor but somebody snatched my purse
Money I don’t mind, if only I could fine
Someone that might save mе from wasting all my time

Something’s telling mе when such a day is done
Child, you’ve got to watch out for number one
Number one

I bought myself some pills, curing all my ills
But now my head is spinning, even when I’m standing still
Son you’re looking wise, what would you advise?
Something that might hasten or delay my demise
