99 and a Half Just Won’t Do Lyrics by Detroit Cobras

Seven Easy Pieces

2004

[Verse 1]
I'm running low
Got to make a hundred
99 and a half just won't do
I'm running low
Got to make a hundred
99 and a half just won't do
[Verse 2]
I'm praying, Lord
Got to make a hundred
99 and a half just won't do
I'm praying, Lord
Got to make a hundred
99 and a half just won't do
[Pre-Chorus]
It won't do
It won't do
It won't do
It won't do
Won't do
Just won't do
99 and a half just won't do
[Chorus]
If you haven't got the time
Meet me at the bottom
It's a good place to start
Got to move them up
Steal you a buck for tomorrow
Meet me out the way
Oh, you won't make the grade
Oh, but you move me
Slowly improve me
Let me tell you, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98
99 and a half just won't do
[Chorus]
If you haven't got the time
Meet me at the bottom
It's a good place to start
Oh, you got to move up
Steal you a buck for tomorrow
Meet me out the way
Oh, you won't make the grade
Oh, but you move me
As you slowly improve me
Let me tell you, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98
99 and a half just won't do
[Chorus]
If you haven't got the time
Meet me at the bottom
It's a good place to start
You got to move up
Steal you a buck for tomorrow
Meet me out the way
Oh, you won't make the grade
Oh, but you move me
As you slowly improve me
Let me tell you, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98
99 and a half just won't do
