Hey Mr. President [00:00:46]

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

You got me frustrated [00:00:52]

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

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

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

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

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

I got the blues [00:01:08]

Got those inflation blues [00:01:11]

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

Of those high brows [00:01:21]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Got those inflation blues [00:01:45]

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

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

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

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

When you start rationing [00:03:12]

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

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

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

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

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