Cover of song by The Fools
Lyrics
The landlord’s knocking on the door
Electric’s on the phone
The gas bill’s sitting old and grey
He’s sitting in a nursing home
My paycheck found a hole in my pocket
Oh last Friday night
And I’d have a few cents to my name
If I didn’t treat the waitress right
If I only had
I’d Surely pay
But I spent the rent
Oh I spent the rent
My refrigerator died of hunger
Sometime yesterday
I lost the car
Payment on a
Lucky horse today
I lost the alimony
When they took away my tv
Checks I sent out just last week
Came bouncing back to me
If I only had it
I’d surely spend
But I spent the rent
Yeah I spent the rent
Don’t let them get the best of you
If the bills don’t come around
Have a great vacation
No money down
I wish someone would catch me
Cause I think I’m failing fast
There’s a dollar in my pocket
Well it’s bound to be my last
I always wanted everything
And I tried to get ahead
But nothing seemed to come my way
No matter what I did
If I only had it
I’d surely spend
But I spent the rent
Yeah I spent the rent
No money
No fun
No visa
No beer
No nothing
No nothing
No nothing!
