Welfare Boogie Songtext
von Fraternity

Collection on Friday, collection on Friday
The treasury keeper will drop me a line
We′ll spend it by Monday, tomorrow's a fun day
Panhandle on the road if the weather is fine

Come and sing the welfare boogie, come with me
Oh, you know that it will fare me well

I′ll find me a lady, I'll find me a lady
She'll cheat in the bottle and we′ll double our pay
We′ll save up our coupons, we'll save up our coupons
Trade them in Virginia on Mexican hay

Come and sing the welfare boogie, come with me
Oh, you know that it will fare me well


Well, my friend, you can plainly see
That the welfare boogie′s doing fine by me

I got me a problem, a real social problem
I can't find employment for more than a week
You might think I′m sleazy, but you know it ain't easy
Finding employment′s a job for a freak

Come and sing the welfare boogie, come with me
Oh, you know that it will fare me well, yeah!

But now I've been busted, the wrong guy I trusted
Well, they put me in jail and they threw out the key
Things could have been better, but I know we play later
But my bread and my board, they will get just for free

Come and sing the welfare boogie, come with me
Oh, you know that it will fare me well, yeah!
