Inflation Blues |
| 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 |
| The way that buck has shrunk |
| It’s a lowdown dirty shame |
| That’s why I got the blues |
| Got those inflation blues |
| 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 |
