Out Of Work

8 a.m. Im up and my feet beating on the sidewalk
Down at the unemployment agency, all I get is talk
I check the want ads but there just aint nobody hiring
Whats a man supposed to do when hes down and hes

Out of work
I need a job, Im out of work
Im unemployed, Im out of work
I need a job, Im out of work

I go to pick my girl up
Her name is linda brown
Her dad invites me in
He tells me to sit down
The small talk that were making
Is going pretty smooth
But then he drops a bomb
Son, what dya do ?

Im out of work
I need a job, Im out of work
Im unemployed, Im out of work
I need a job, Im out of work

Hey mr president I know you got your plans
Youre doing all you can now to aid the little man
We got to do our best to whip that inflation down
Maybe you got a job for me just driving you around

Im out of work
These hard times, theyre enough
To make a man lose his mind
Im out of work
Up there you got a job but down here below

Im out of work
I need a job, Im out of work
Im unemployed, Im out of work
I need a job, Im out of work

Im out of work
Im out of work
Im out of work
Im out of work

Im out of work
Im out of work
Im out of work
