It's the first of the month, it’s about that time Step out to my mailbox , knowing what I'll find Be a note from the landlord , I'm overdue And the bill from the doctor, but I still got the flu
There's always electric, water and gas I know that my paycheck just ain't gonna last One thing I'm sure of is my dues are paid up I'm a member in good standing Of the Blues of the Month Club
Got a letter this morning from my first ex-wife
There ain't enough money, to get her out of my life
And the woman I'm lovin', she's doing me wrong
Our June wedding, she says, has been postponed
That same old story I heard last May
Can't understand why she treats me this
way
One tiling I'm sure of is my dues are paid up
I'm a member in good standing Of the Blues of the Month Club
I wrote a book on how to fail
Just as I expected it went, no sale
The only thing I'm sure of is my dues are
paid up
I'm a member in good standing
