I am all snowed under and beat so bad
I am all snowed under and beat so bad
Not a dime, ooo-well-well
For the big wealth that I had
I could just phone anywhere in town
I could just phone anywhere in town
Mr. Livinggood wanted it? ooo-well-well
An they'd rush it on down
I had a butler just to fetch me my gin
I had a butler just to fetch me my gin
Living seven ways through the week
Hoo-well now, but I'm living ten
On big parties I drop money on the flo'

On big parties I drop money on the flo'
An leave it for the sweeper
An walk on out the do'
I buy my baby a silk dress ev'ryday
I buy my baby, silk dress ev'ryday
She'd wear it one time, ooo-well-well
Then she'll just throw it away
I had money in my name but I was too big a fool
I had money in my name but I was too big a fool
I would throw it at the wind, ooo-well
Because I was stubborn as a mule.
