Yes, folks,
I got a cut -down on my overhead.
The way things are going now,
I'm about to lose my budding brain.
You know, I used to be particular
about the women that I picked.
They had to be tender, lean, and tall,
but now things done changed.
I'll take them knock -naked,
four -legged, I'll even take them bald.
You know, I seen the time when I used to have
steaks and chops piled up on my dog's plate.
And if he seen a bone,
he'll sniff his nose up and walk away and leave it alone.
But now that
Sam's gone,
me and my dog is pulling straws
And if he wins,
I'll snatch it right out his jaws
I've got to cut down,
cut down on my overhead
I've got to cut down,
cut down on my overhead
You know here lately I can't hold a dime,
in fact I ain't had no money since 1949, that
was fine, my still was jumpin',
the house party was poppin', and I was doin' the town,
But just as soon as I got down, old
Sam the tax man come around,
showin' me a bill for
500 back taxes that I didn't even win
But this is all I got to say, open up
Sing
Sing, cause I'm comin' in
I've got to cut down, cut down on my overhead I've got to cut down,
cut down on my overhead
Where things are going now, I'm about to lose my woman,
