Well now everything is rosy   And the money's so well spent   This kind of education   Is worth every cent   When your momma pays the tuition   And your dadddy pays the rent   You could learn a lot in college   Although you never went      Now you ain't that funny   And you ain't that smart   But you become a model student   When you step up to the bar      They're drinking their life away   At the paradise cafe   Talking with nothing to say   At the paradise cafe   Daddy's money spends real good   And he's spent a lot today   At the paradise cafe      The neon pink flamingo   Shines down on one and all   Lights up the drunken schoolgirl   As she bounces of the wall   To the slurred shouts of college boys   Who'll soon be at the wheel   It's an awful lot to deal with   Just to get a decent meal      Now you ain't that funny   And you ain't that smart   But you become a model student   When you step up to the bar      They're drinking their life away   At the paradise cafe   Talking with nothing to say   At the paradise cafe   Daddy's money spends real good   And he's spent a lot today   At the paradise cafe
