It's a hard hard time now

Good man can't get no dough

It's a hard hard time now

Good man can't get no dough

All I do for my baby don't satisfy her no more

I ain't got no job

Now you going to put me down

I ain't got no job

Now you going to put me down

You going to quit me baby

For a hard working clown

Time is so hard now

Maybe things will change some day

Time is so hard now

Maybe things will change some day

And when I get a job

Maybe you will change your way

Don't quit me baby

'Cause I can't find no work to do

Don't quit me baby

'Cause I can't find no work to do

All the dirt you done to me

It's coming back home to you

I used to be a joker

Now I'm going to make a change

Used to be a joker

Now I'm going to make a change

Come on give me a job keep coal in

Your cold kitchen range
