Lyrics:

As I passed by
A fine hotel
I saw a little girl
She sure looked swell
I gave her the eye
Started to carry on
A Cadillac pulled up
She was gone
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
It should have been me, baby
(Drivin' that Cadillac)
A little later on
Five minutes passed
I saw another girl
She had a lotta class
I's about to write
Her name in my book
Her husband pulled up
Gave me a dirty look
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
That should have been me, friends
(Bein' her chaperone)

Comes Andy Stein on the saxophone
Down on the corner
Was a real sharp cat
Had a three-hundred-dollar suit
Hundred-dollar hat
Standin' on the curb
By a DynaFlow
Voice from inside said
(C'mon Daddy, let's go)
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
That should have been me, you know
(Drivin' that DynaFlow)
Ate a bowl of chili
I felt okay
Then I passed by
A fine café
There's Billy C., eatin'
A T-bone steak
Waitress standin' by his side, feedin' him
Ice cream and cake
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
Well, it should have been me
(Eatin' ice cream and cake)

(It shoulda been me) (With that real fine chick)
(It shoulda been me) (Gettin' my natural kicks)
It should have been me, baby
(Lovin' those crazy chicks)
