chump change

Albert King

Ain t got no money at all
And it sure ain t funny

Don t have no Eldorado
Don t even have a car
Traveling around by foot yall
Don t get you very far
I don t have no diamond ring
Or a watch made of gold
Once had a color Tv
But the damn thing got stole

Chump change
That a all I ever get
Chump change
I ain t got none to give

Work hard all day
But I can t save a dime
Tried to catch the lottery
To have a real good time
If I could get some C notes
I d roll them in my fist

I d go around the world
And buy the things I missed

Chump change
That a all I ever get
Chump change
I ain t got none to give

Who s knocking at the door now
Hope its not one of them bill collectors
I ain t got no money
Let me take a peek and see who it is

Ain t got no money at all
And it sure ain t funny

Wait a minute, hold up stop
I want to tell you something
Chump change is all I have left after I paid the bills last week
Yeah (?)
The city tax, the street tax, the federal tax, the state tax
And the tax on my gas I use at home
Cause I ain t got no car
Had to pay the light bill too
Now you thinking
Had to pay the phone bill
Had to pay the child support
You know what I had left after I paid all that?
(Chump change)
Chump change!
