  • I'm working forty hours
    Six long days
    And I'm highly embarrassed
    Every time I get my pay

    And they working everybody
    Lord, they working poor folks to death
    And when you pay your rent and your car notes
    You ain't got a damn thing left

    Ain't that a bitch, yes it is
    Somebody doing something slick, yeah they are
    It's got me wondering which is which
    Mighty as well go out of town and dig a ditch

    Ain't that a bitch, yes it is
    Now ain't that a bitch

    Lemme tell you about my qualifications

    I program computers
    I know accounting and psychology
    I took a course in business
    And I can speak a little Japanese, Papa San

    Gotta work two years
    To get one week off with pay
    And when I'm on my job
    I better watch every word I say

    Ain't that a bitch, oh boy
    Somebody doing something slick, downtown
    It's got me wondering which is which
    Mighty well, go out of town and dig a ditch

    Ain't that a bitch, it's way, way to cold
    Ain't that a bitch

    Make me wanna holler, Lord, Lord
    Lord, have mercy to see
    Won't somebody please help me to see land, Lord
    I want to play the guitar, come here guitar

    Somebody doing something silly

    Now listen to this

    Stop at the supermarket
    To get myself something to eat
    And when I look at the prices
    They knock me off of my feet

    I was in the baloney section
    And I had to take myself a close look
    Now [Incomprehensible] couldn't have made these prices
    With a sky hook

    Ain't that a bitch, yes, it is
    Somebody doing something slick, here they are
    It's got me wondering which is which
    Mighty well go out of town and dig a ditch

    Ain't that a bitch, ain't that a bitch

    Surely there's something slick going on
    Surely there's something slick
    Surely there's something slick going on
    Surely there's something slick, ain't that a

    Surely there's something slick going on
    Surely there's something slick
    Surely there's something slick going on
    Somebody's show slick, ain't that a

    Surely there's something slick going on
    Surely there's something slick
    Surely there's something slick going on
    Somebody's showing slick

    Surely there's something slick going on
    Surely there's something slick
    Surely there's something slick going on
    Surely there's something slick
