One day got to be payday
Payday, go to haffe come my way
Sitting over there
Under your false pretense
Living so nice
Off the poor man's expense
Hungry man got to roam the street
I tell you, white squall
Is such a terrible threat
One day got to be payday
Payday coming what may
One day you got to haffe big payday
Where, where, where is my share ?
Tell me it's up, up in the air
How, how could I get my share ?
You reply, try upon a broken chair
One day (etc)
Ain't gonna be your hally button
Work for nothin'
By the sweat of my brow
I wanna eat my bread
One day (etc)
