Payday Blues

I got my paycheck today

I think I'll spend it like a crazy fool

Or I'll give it all away

Something like the golden rule

And my paycheck ain't paid

But somehow I just don't seem to care

Ever since she went away

And left my little house so cold and bare

And I won't tell them at the bank

What I'm gonna do with all my dough

I'll just smile and tell them thanks

For it's better that they shouldn't know

And then I'll go and have a drink

At a little place where I can sit and think

About the girl who went away

And left me here on my payday

Payday was never like this

Payday, but where is my happiness?

And then I'll have another drink

At a little place where I can sit and think

About the girl who went away

And left me here on my payday

Little Johnny Weber, ladies and gentlemen

You're bad, John

Sid Paige, ladies and gentlemen

I didn't know you could do it, Sid

And then I'll have another drink

At a little place where I can sit and think

About the girl who went away

And left me here on my payday

Payday was never like this

Payday, but where is, but where is my happiness?

And then I'll have another drink

At a little place where I can sit and think

About the girl who went away

And left me here on my payday
