I've gotta get a job
First thing in the mornin'
Dress up real sharp
Take an early bus downtown
I borrow your paper
I read the want ads
Take what they got
'Cause I need a job real bad
I'm tired of bein' broke
Ain't got a dime
Man, he's always callin'
Pay my rent on time
So I've put on my hat
And my old cashmere coat
If I don't get a paper
It won't be much hope
I ain't got a friend
No one I can find
I can't even borrow the right time
Ain't got no money
Can't get a dime
I can't even shame my own mind

I've gotta get a job
First thing in the mornin'
Dress up real sharp
Take an early bus downtown
I borrow your paper
I read the want ads
Take what they got
'Cause I need a job real bad
