| Still playin' this music now | |
| I wanna show you way I feel | |
| I feel bad 'cause I don't have a dollar bill | |
| I need money, Lord, at least that's what I wish | |
| One bird in the hand is better 'n two out in the bush | |
| That' why I'm fed up | |
| (He's fed up) | |
| Gotta keep the bird right in my hand, oh yeah | |
| Well I'm gonna stop this runnin' around | |
| An' get me a job like the average man, um-hm | |
| I'm gonna get me a job where I work from nine to five | |
| I'm playin' this music an' I can't hardly survive | |
| Money on a musician is the worst musician I ever seen | |
| I was better off when I was workin' for Walgreen | |
| That's why I'm fed up | |
| (He's fed up) | |
| Wanna keep a dollar right in my hand, oh yeah | |
| Well I'm gonna stop this runnin' around | |
| Get me a job like the average man, um-hm | |
| Should be a star 'cause I always want to be | |
| I hate guitars 'cause they just won't profit to me | |
| I'm playin' my saxophone an' I'm walkin' the streets an' cryin' | |
| Gotta get me a job 'cause I don't have a lousy dime! | |
| Now I hate this music 'cause it always leave me flat | |
| Thirty dollar job and you got your agent tryin' a-steal that | |
| People keep on tellin' me blues don't get satisfaction | |
| One hit record then I'll be a star like Michael Jackson | |
| That's why I'm fed up | |
| (He's fed up) | |
| Gonna keep a dollar right in my hand, oh yeah | |
| Well I'm gonna stop this runnin' around | |
| And get me a job like the average man | |
| Lord, I'm gonna stop this runnin' around | |
| An' get me a job like the average man | |
| Well I'm gonna stop this runnin' around | |
| An' get me a job like the average man |
