Over The Hump |
| Mother had a welfare rent |
| We lived in a freezin' up house |
| The only time we saw some meat |
| Was when we chopped 'em out |
| Hand me down clothes |
| Had holes in and out |
| Now I am a rich man |
| So happy I could shout |
| Over the hump, no more bump |
| Over the hump, no more bump |
| Now I am a rich man |
| No more bump for me |
| I once saw a woman, I thought that I could date |
| She backed to look at me and asked about my gig |
| I bought her a sweater, not knowin' what she think |
| She threw it back at me, now, now I can buy a mink |
| Over the hump, no more bump |
| Over the hump, no more bump |
| Now I am a rich man, no more bump for me |
| (I hear ya Jimmy) |
| I was twenty-one, went to buy a beer |
| The bartender looked at me, an' said «tramp get out-a here» |
| I took back my money, wiped the sweat from my face |
| Now I am so angry, I think I’ll buy the place |
| Over the hump, no more bump |
| Over the hump, no more bump |
| Now I am a rich man, there’s no more bump for me |
| (I hear ya fine) |
