We can't work it on a Monday, we can't work ev'ry day

Your Mama don't mind, your Papa don't mind, that's true

but we can't pay the rent, and we're livin' on pigeon stew



We got so much aggravation, rent man's knockin' at the door

let him inside, baby it's up to you,

well, we can't pay the rent, and we're livin' on pigeon stew



Can you hear him?, can you hear him? knockin' on a-the door

let him inside, I don't think he'll go back home

well, we can't pay the rent, and we're livin' on pigeon stew
