I am all snowed under and beat so bad

I am all snowed under and beat so bad

Not a dime, ooo-well-well

For the big wealth that I had



I could just phone anywhere in town

I could just phone anywhere in town

Mr. Livinggood wanted it? ooo-well-well

An they'd rush it on down



I had a butler just to fetch me my gin

I had a butler just to fetch me my gin

Living seven ways through the week

Hoo-well now, but I'm living ten



On big parties I drop money on the flo'

On big parties I drop money on the flo'

An leave it for the sweeper

An walk on out the do'



I buy my baby a silk dress ev'ryday

I buy my baby, silk dress ev'ryday

She'd wear it one time, ooo-well-well

Then she'll just throw it away



I had money in my name but I was too big a fool

I had money in my name but I was too big a fool

I would throw it at the wind, ooo-well

Because I was stubborn as a mule.
