Gotta Get a Job

I've gotta get a job

First thing in the mornin'

Dress up real sharp

Take an early bus downtown

I borrow your paper

I read the want ads

Take what they got

'Cause I need a job real bad

I'm tired of bein' broke

Ain't got a dime

Man, he's always callin'

Pay my rent on time

So I've put on my hat

And my old cashmere coat

If I don't get a paper

It won't be much hope

I ain't got a friend

No one I can find

I can't even borrow the right time

Ain't got no money

Can't get a dime

I can't even shame my own mind

I've gotta get a job

First thing in the mornin'

Dress up real sharp

Take an early bus downtown

I borrow your paper

I read the want ads

Take what they got

'Cause I need a job real bad
