I'm waiting

for my royalty check to come,

and it still hasn't come yet.

It's about a year

over due.

I guess it's coming

from the Big Royalty Check in the sky.

I waited and the mailman

never dropped it in my letterbox.

Oh, oh-oh, oh...

I guess it's a Big Royalty Check in the sky.

Oooh baby.

But you can't

beat the tax man

and me

all at once.
