Collection on Friday
Collection on Friday
The treasure keeper will drop me a line
We spend it by Monday
Tomorrowâ??s a Bon day
Canâ??t handle on the road if the weather is fine
-CHORUS-
Come and sing the welfare boogie
Come with me
Oh you know that itâ??ll fare me well
Iâ??ll find me a lady
Iâ??ll find me a lady
Sheâ??ll cheat in the bottle, and weâ??ll double our pay
Weâ??ll save up our coupons
Weâ??ll save up our coupons
Trade them into genuine Mexican (?)
(CHORUS)
Well my friend
You can plainly see
That the welfare boogieâ??s
Doinâ?? fine by me

I got me a problem
A real social problem
I canâ??t find employment for more than a week
You might think Iâ??m sleazy
But you know it ainâ??t easy
Findinâ?? employmentâ??s a job for a freak

(CHORUS)
Yeaaahhh
*SOLO*
But now Iâ??ve been busted
The wrong guy, Iâ??ve trusted
Well they put me in jail
And theyâ??ve thrown out the key
Things could have been better
But thereâ??s no weekly (?)
But my bread and my board
(?) for free
(CHORUS)
Yeaaahhh
