Last night I spent a night on the town
— mama don’t know it, daddy don’t know it —
A cocktail waitress turned me upside down
(then she said I’d be her lover and darling)
2 a.m. I’d board the silver train
— mama don’t know it, daddy don’t know it —
Only to find her with her whips and chains
Then she said I’d be her one night stand ‘cos
Chorus:
I’m living on my own (he’s living on his own)
Out a dusk and out at dawn to wake the morning sun
(he’s living on his own) I’m living on my own
(he’s never going home till the night’s gone)
I let the dished pile up in the sink
