Out Of Work

8 AM I'm up and out
 Feet beating on the sidewalk
 Down at the unemployment
 Agency all I get's talk
 I check the want ads but there
 Just ain't nobody hiring
 What's a man supposed to do
 When he's down and out of work
 I need a job, I'm out of work
 I'm unemployed, I'm out of work
 I need a job, I'm out of work
 I go to pick my girl up
 Her name is Linda Brown
 Her dad invites me in
 He tells me to sit down
 The small talk that we're making
 Is going pretty smooth
 But then he drops a bomb
 "Son, whaddaya do?" I'm out of work
 I need a job, I'm out of work
 I'm unemployed, I'm out of work
 I need a job, I'm out of work
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Hey, Mr. President
 I know you got your plans
 You're doing all you can now
 To help the little man
 We got to do our best to
 Whip that inflation down
 Maybe you got a job for me
 Just driving you around (I'm out of work)
 These tough times, they're enough to
 Make a man lose his mind (I'm out of work)
 Up there you got a job but
 Down here below I'm out of work
 I need a job, I'm out of work
 I'm unemployed, I'm out of work
 I need a job, I'm out of work
 Ooh, I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
 I'm out of work
