《Inflation Blues》歌词

[00:00:46] Hey Mr. President

[00:00:49] All your congressmen, too

[00:00:52] You got me frustrated

[00:00:54] And I don't know what to do

[00:00:58] I'm trying to make a living

[00:01:00] I can't save a cent

[00:01:03] It takes all of my money

[00:01:05] Just to eat and pay my rent

[00:01:08] I got the blues

[00:01:11] Got those inflation blues

[00:01:18] You know, I'm not one

[00:01:21] Of those high brows

[00:01:23] I'm average Joe to you

[00:01:26] I came up eating cornbread

[00:01:28] Candied yams and chicken stew

[00:01:31] Now you take that paper dollar

[00:01:34] It's only that in name

[00:01:36] The way that buck has shrunk

[00:01:39] It's a lowdown dirty shame

[00:01:42] That's why I got the blues

[00:01:45] Got those inflation blues

[00:03:00] Mr. President Please cut the price of sugar

[00:03:02] I wanna make my coffee sweet

[00:03:05] I wanna smear some butter on my bread

[00:03:09] And I just got to have my meat

[00:03:12] When you start rationing

[00:03:15] You really played the game

[00:03:17] And things are going up

[00:03:19] And up and up and up

[00:03:20] And my check remains the same

[00:03:25] That's why I got the blues
