Hey Mr. Landlord
It’s just about nine
And out where you’re livin’
I guess that you’re fine
You must be out sailin’ and catchin’ some fish
I call for one reason
Just grant me this wish
Please Mr. Landlord
We just need a break
We’re livin’ on food stamps
Not dinin’ on steak
Please Mr. Landlord
We’re tryin’ to cope
We’re down but not out
We ain’t givin’ up hope
My kid, he’s in grade school
I packed up his lunch
Some bread with some cheese
and this cheap purple punch
I never believed it could happen this way
I’m scroungin’ for change just to get through the day
Chorus.
I give you this promise
I want no free ride
I’ll pay back each penny
I won’t sneak off and hide
And here in the meantime
We’re doin’ our best
We’re keepin’ our heads up
We’ll get through this test
