| Dear Mr. President |
| I live in the suburbs |
| It’s a long way from Washington, D. C |
| Had me a job |
| Workin' for wages |
| Till the company moved out |
| And they forgot about me |
| Can’t draw unemployment |
| For some unknown reason |
| My kids are hungry |
| I’ve got four mouths to feed |
| I go out every day looking for suitable employment |
| Do you think there’s something you could do for me |
| Cause I’m |
| Down and out here in paradise |
| Down and out and I’m on my knees |
| I’m down and out here in paradise |
| Looks like the milk and honey |
| Done run out on me |
| Dear Mr. President |
| I used to be a dancer |
| Got a little bit too old |
| So I became a secretary |
| Married a man |
| In Las Vegas, Nevada |
| And ten years later |
| He ran out on the kids and me |
| Some said I was pretty |
| But those days are over |
| Now I’ve no place to live |
| And I’m out on the streets |
| Oh, Mr. President |
| Can I tell you a secret |
| I never ever thought that this could happen to me |
| Cause I’m |
| Down and out here in paradise |
| Down and out and I’m on my knees |
| I’m down and out here in paradise |
| Looks like the milk and honey |
| Done run out on me |
| Dear Mr. President |
| I’m just a young kid |
| I’m in the fourth grade |
| At Riley Elementary |
| My mom and dad’s been actin' funny |
| I’m not sure what |
| If it’s got something to do with me |
| My daddy’s always drunk |
| My mom’s a babysitter |
| And I don’t like the Russians |
| Cause I hear they hate me |
| Dear Mr. President |
| Can I ask you one question |
| When the bombs fall down |
| Will they hurt everyone in my family |
| Yeah, yeah |
| Down and out here in paradise |
| Down and out and I’m on my knees |
| I’m down and out here in paradise |
| Looks like the milk and honey |
| Done run out on me |
