We're Not Here For A Long Time Lyrics - Huey Lewis & The News

There's a party down on the corner, do you want to go? 

They got rhythm, a little blues, and a whole lot of soul 

I don't care what you've got to say 

You're comin' with me anyway 

We're not here for a long time 

We're here for a good time 

I know it's hard makin' a living every day 

And I know how hard you've been workin' 

But now it's time to play 

Tell that wolf waitin' at your door 

He'll just have to wait some more 

We're not here for a long time 

We're here for a good time

Some say the world is ending 

It might just come to pass 

Ain't no use in pretending 

Tonight could be the last 

Tell the mailman to hold the mail 

Get ready to wag your tail 

We're not here for a long time 

We're here for a good time 

Some say the world is ending 

Who knows if it's true? 

Ain't no use in pretending 

There's not much we can do

Leave a message for those who call 

We're out havin' us a ball 

We're not here for a long time 

We're here for a good time
