Pink Slip Blues |
| One day every week, I prop myself at my front door |
| One day every week, I prop myself at my front door |
| And the police force couldn’t move me 'fore that mail man blow |
| 'Twas a little white paper Uncle Sam had done addressed to me |
| 'Twas a little white paper Uncle Sam had done addressed to me It meant one more week, one week of sweet prosperity |
| But bad news got to spreading, and my poor hair started turning grey |
| But bad news got to spreading, and my poor hair started turning grey |
| Cause Uncle Sam started chopping, cutting thousands off the W.P.A. |
| Just a little pink slip, in a long white envelope |
| Just a little pink slip, in a long white envelope |
| Was the end of my road, was the last ray of my only hope |
| After four long years, Uncle Sam done put me on the shelf |
| After four long years, Uncle Sam done put me on the shelf |
| Cause that little pink slip means you got to go for yourself |
