Down And Out In Paradise

歌曲歌詞

Dear Mr President

I live in the suburbs

It’s a long way from Washington D C

Had me a job

Workin’ for wages

Till the company moved out

And they forgot about me

Can’t draw unemployment

For some unknown reason

My kids are hungry

I’ve got four mouths to feed

I go out every day looking for suitable employment

Do you think there’s something you could do for me

Cause I’m

Down and out

Here in paradise

Down and out

And I’m on my knees

I’m down and out

Here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey

Done run out on me

Dear Mr President

I used to be a dancer

Got a little bit too old

So I became a secretary

Married a man

In Las Vegas Nevada

And ten years later

He ran out on the kids and me

Some said I was pretty

But those days are over

Now I’ve no place to live

And I’m out on the streets

Oh Mr President

Can I tell you a secret

I never ever thought that this could happen to me

Cause I’m

Down and out

Here in paradise

Down and out

And I’m on my knees
