I´ve gotten down to my last pair of shoes Can´t even win a nickel bet Because, ah them that´s got are them that gets And I ain´t got nothin yet
I´m sneakin in and out duckin´ my landlord All I seem to do is stay in debt Because, ah them that´s got (yeah) are them that gets And I tell you all I ain´t got nothin´ yet
That old sayin them that´s got are them that gets Is somethin I can´t see If ya gotta have somethin Before you can get somethin How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me
I see folk with long cars and fine clothes That´s why they´re called the smarter set Because they manage to get When only them that´s got supposed to get And I ain´t got nothin yet

You know I just don´t understand it I can´t seem to get a nickle or a dime for a cup of coffee I need a hamburg- in fact a hot dog wouldn´t be too bad I would just be grateful if I could get my hands on most anything (fade)
