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 wentNow you ain't that funny
And you ain't that smart
But you become a model student
When you step up to the barThey'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 cafeThe 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 mealNow you ain't that funny
And you ain't that smart
But you become a model student
When you step up to the barThey'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
