Collecting on Friday

The treasury keeper will drop me a line

We'll spend it by Monday

Tomorrow's a fun day

Panhandle on the road if the weather is fine

Come and sing the welfare boogie

Come with me

Oh, you know that it will fare me well

I'll find me a lady

She'll cheat in the bottle and we'll double our pay

We'll save up our coupons

Trade them in for genuine Mexican pay

Come and sing the welfare boogie

Come with me

Oh, you know that it will fare me well

Well, my friend, you can plainly see

That the welfare boogie's doing fine by me

I got me a problem

A real social problem

I can't find employment for more than a week

You might think I'm sleazy

But you know it ain't easy

Finding employment's a job for a freak

Come and sing the welfare boogie

Come with me

Oh, you know that it will fare me well

But now I've been busted

The wrong guy had trusted

Well, they put me in jail

And they throw out the key

Things could have been better

But there's no regret

But my bread and my board

Gonna have to go for free

Come and sing the welfare boogie

Come with me

Oh, you know that it will fare me well
