Lyrics
Good luck has crossed me Bad luck has forced me down to my last one cent I'm right in the middle of solving that riddle Known as raising the rent Steal, beg or borrow, got 'til tomorrow Landlord's a mean old gent It's come to a showdown and he wants the low down If I'm raising my rent Better times are taking too long Panic's on and it's hitting me too strong Got a right to sing a blue song Trouble has got me down I've made my mind up, I'd rather wind up Camping out in a tent Than being in the middle of solving that riddle Known as raising my rent [Instrumental]
