| I’m too pretty to work and I’m tired
|
| Of you uglyin' up my house"
|
| Jimmy said, «Baby, the guys at the top
|
| Are doin' bad as the guys on the street»
|
| Kim said, «The guys at the top ain’t about
|
| To be payin' alimony to me»
|
| She said «Go downtown
|
| See what you can find
|
| Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine
|
| Looks like the*m* unemployment blues
|
| Are wearin' out your houseshoes
|
| Jimmy said, «Baby, ain’t you *heard* the news?
|
| It’s as far as the eyes can see.
|
| Foreigners are comin' in and doin' our jobs
|
| For half of what they would’ve paid me.»
|
| «You mean half of what you would’ve made
|
| For somethin' you’ve never done.
|
| Sounds like the bright side to all this, Jimmy
|
| Is your askin' price went up —
|
| Now get downtown
|
| See what you can find
|
| Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine
|
| Looks like them unemployment blues
|
| Are wearin' out your houseshoes
|
| Baby left when your boots came untied."
|
| Jimmy said, «Baby, if I work for your daddy
|
| It’s worse than bein' his son.»
|
| Kim didn’t like what he said one bit
|
| And it didn’t surprise him none.
|
| She said, «My daddy took good enough care of my mama
|
| She hardly had to say a thing.»
|
| Jim said «That's part of what’s wrong»
|
| Kim said «Don't say another damn thing —
|
| Just get downtown
|
| See what you can find
|
| Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine
|
| Looks like them unemployment blues
|
| Are wearin' out your houseshoes.
|
| Baby left when your boots came untied." |
