Ain't Life Sweet

Kick out the cat / turn back the clock

Ain't life sweet baby look what I got

They took the TV honey

Oh babe now they took the car

I skipped the bills yeah

And I've been drinking at the bar

Ain't life a treat, it ain't so sweet

When you're down on down / down on down

The bank's foreclosing

And there's a foot inside my door

The telephone's not ringing

And I can't take it anymore

I'm off the track / my last six pack

And I'm down on down / going down

Ain't life a treat it ain't so sweet

When you're going down / down on down

Hit me Shorty

[INSTRUMENTAL]

My God the kids are screaming

And the help she ain't been paid

My baby upped and left me

Well I hope she's getting laid

Ain't life a treat it ain't so sweet

When you're down on down / going down

I'm just bad luck looks like I got stuck

Down on down / down on down

I took it to the limit, now I'm really in it

Going down / right on down

Just like the I.R.S. oh, more is less

Going down / down on down
