I've been laying on my back   Like a freight train off a track   Trying to find a job to fit my trade   With the morning sun come 'round   Well i'll be covering plenty of ground   And i don't need nobody to pay my aid   Mmmm pay my aid      Now bess and me were feeling bad   And all the good jobs they were had   I had to take to sweeping up some floors      Well i don't mind that so much   Or the changing of my luck   But you know i could be doing so much more      Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba   Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba   Bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip bip      Well i'll be coming home tonight   Everything will be all right   And we'll be looking at tomorrow
