Inflation Blues
Lyricist:A Alexander, L Jordan, T Southern
Hey, Mr. President All your congressmen too You got me frustrated And I don't know what to do
I'm trying to make a living I can't save a cent It takes all of my money Just to eat and pay my rent
I got the blues Got those inflation blues
You know, I'm not one of those high brows I'm average Joe to you I came up eating cornbread Candied yams and chicken stew
Now you take that paper dollar It's only that in name Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The way that buck has shrunk It's a lowdown dirty shame
That's why I got the blues Got those inflation blues 'Cause I have
Mr. President, please cut the price of sugar I wanna make my coffee sweet I wanna smear some butter on my bread And I just got to have my meat
When you start rationing You really played the game And things are going up and up and up and up And my check remains the same
That's why I got the blues Got those inflation blues
