歌曲歌詞

I've been working at a drugstore earning every dime I make

Looking at my check stub cussing what the tax man takes

My baby's depending on me oh Lord to bring the bacon home

But it's just salt pork we're eating lower on the hog

But if I die in the morning they can't say I didn't pay my way

With honest sweat and elbow grease and doing what the foremen say

But after we buy groceries pay the rent and the telephone

I'm broke and gone what's going on

There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

I'm making more now and eating lower on the hog

There's people standing with their heads out forming a welfare line

Saving their back while I'm out breaking mine

I ain't worried 'bout the federal budget or the LA city smog

I'm working overtime and eating lower on the hog

But if I die in the morning they can't say I didn't pay my way

With honest sweat and elbow grease and doing what the foremen say

But after we buy groceries pay the rent and the telephone

I'm broke and gone what's going on

There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

I'm making more now and eating lower on the hog

There's a lot less scrap to throw out to the dog

I'm making more now and eating lower on the hog
