If trouble was money, I'd swear I'd be a millionaire

I Ain't Drunk
Everyday baby, when the sun go down

I don't care, what the people are thinkin'
I ain't drunk, I'm just drinkin'
(But you're so high)
Oh man, you know I ain't high
(But you're so high)

(But you're so high)
Now you oughta be 'shamed of yourself
(Stay drunk all the time)
Oh, c'mon now, you know ya'all get like that

Now, let's have a little drink, just me an' you
I don't care, what the people are thinkin'

Master Charge
My wife has a charge card
That I got her the other day,
I owe five hundred dollars
That's just for yesterday.
I said,
"Honey, here's a present go out and shop around.
Get a couple of dresses and browse around
Downtown."
She did just what I told her,
Bought one, two or three
Then came home looking silly
Making goo-goo eyes at me.
[Chorus: x3]
Master Charge
Master Charge
A Bank of America Card
I said, "Did you get your dresses?"
She said, "Yes, one or two,
But I had to get me some shoes and I needed
Some jewelry too."
She had $200 dresses
That I could have made and I can't sowe!
Fifty Dollars pair of shoes
And I thought you so and so.
I said, "What about the jewelry?"
As calmly as I could.
She said, "Honey, you'll love them. They're pure African wood."
[Chorus: x3]
Let's charge it!
Let's charge it!
She said, "They were $200 and I paid
One and a half!"
I just didn't believe it,
I was so mad I had to laugh.
I could see it in my mind
On a horse like Paul Revere
I check my mail box
'Cause these bills keep coming here.
[Chorus: x3]
Charge it!
Let's charge it!
Let's charge it! |

Too Tired
I laid down last night, too tired to wait
I had a chill this mornin', too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand, too tired to win
I could hear my baby knockin', too tired to let her in
I'm tired, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm tired
Too tired, too tired for anything
Too tired to walk, too tired to run
I can hear my baby callin', too tired, too tired
Too tired, yes I'm tired
I'm tired, too tired for anything
I'm tired of prosperity, tired of luck
Sittin' on a pin, I'm too tired to get up
I'm tired, I declare, I declare, I'm tired
Too tired, tired, too tired for anything
I'm tired, baby!
Hey!

Oh, and you can't take it wit' you, that's one thing for sure
Oh, and you can't take it wit' you, that's one thing for sure
There ain't nothin' in the world, that a T-Bone shuffle won't cure

Come here baby, sit down on your daddy's knee
I've got somethin' pretty baby, somethin' that's ailin' me |

But I Was Cool
I always live by the, golden rule
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!
You gotta have nerves of steel
And never show folks how you, honestly feel
I lived all my life this way, hah
For example, take yesterday
I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay
Her note read, so long savvy, I haven't gone away!
An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
An' this is what I said
Oh shit Oh Oh Oh
What? Oh what are you gonna do with me?
Oh wow uh
But I was cool!
So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar
I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car
The judge threw the book at me,
An' when I read, the sentence there, I said
Ow! Please ow ow, please I got to know, I got to know
What? what went wrong?
I don't underst' I oh a,
But I was cool!
So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay
And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank
The shot whistled right past that woman's head
An' I killed my hound dog, dead!
Ow, ruff ruff, r' r' r' r' r' r'
As they carried me away
I was overheard to say,
"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!" |

When The Welfare Turns Its Back On You
Now what you gonna do, when the welfare turn it's back on you?
Now what you gonna do-hoo-hoo-hoo, when the welfare turn it's back on you
Now, you be standin' there stranded, there's ain't a thing that you can do
Now you look all through your house, yes, you can't, find a piece of bread
Now you look all through your hou-hou-house, yeah, you can't find a piece of
bread
Sometime you begin to wonder, if you be better off, better off, dead
You go down to the welfare
Give 'em one, two report
Something they sellin' you
Will surely get your goat
If you tell 'em you sick
You better have a bad cough
'Cause if you don't
They be ready to throw you off |
Good Fool Is Hard To Find
My baby came home last night
And she looked at me real cool
She said, "Albert, you ain't nothin' but a overgrown fool,
I'm gonna leave you, gonna leave you behind."
I said,
" Baby I'm gonna tell you, that a good fool is hard to find."
Now, baby if you leave me, it would hurt me to my soul
I just can't understand why baby, any woman could be so cold
But a good fool, a good fool, is hard to find
Take a lesson from me baby
A good fool is hard to find
The last time you left me, I didn't have much to lose
You left me with nothin' woman
But a pair of thin-sole shoe
But a good fool, a good fool is hard to find
Take a lesson from me baby
A good fool is hard to find
Now listen to me baby, I think you should be told
When they made yo' daddy
Somebody went an broke the mold
A good fool, a good fool is hard to find
You take the lesson from me woman
A good fool is hard to find |
