Adam Schlesinger - Richie and Ruben lyrics

They opened up a bar called "Living Hell" Right from the start it didn't go too well They didn't have the vibe or quite the right clientele They bought a velvet rope and the door man laughed They got robbed blind by half the wait staff Six short weeks and they were forced to sell Richie and Ruben Don't know what they're doin' Richie and Ruben Are both a little out of their minds Don't give 'em a dime They'll blow through your dough Just like they blew through mine A-whoa a-a-o Whoa-o a-a-o Where did the money go? Where did the money go? They opened a boutique they called "Degree" Together with some kid from F.I.T Though later it turned out he never quite Got his degree Eleven hundred bucks for a ripped up shirt That came pre-stained with bleach and black dirt Seemed just a little bit Too steep to me - e - e - - e - e Richie and Ruben Don't know what they're doin' Richie and Ruben Are both a little out of their minds Don't give 'em a dime They'll blow through your dough Just like they blew through mine And ever since the seventh grade They've been sayin that "we've got it made" And I haven't gotten paid Gotten paid at all A-whoa a-a-o Whoa-o a-a-o Where did the money go? Where did the money go? Richie and Ruben Don't know what they're doin' Richie and Ruben Are both a little They're both a little They're both a little Out of their minds
