Now, listen |
|
My paycheck after taxes barely pays the rent |
|
I do the town on |
|
Friday, by |
|
Tuesday, it's all spent |
|
Two bucks an hour, this job ain't too hip |
|
My love life's turning sour working the night shift |
|
It's the pits, it's a one way trip |
|
On a sinking ship |
|
Ain't it the pits, but you just can't quit |
|
When the scale won't tip or the key don't fit |
|
Two $6.50 tickets to hassle with the crowd |
|
I got hit with a |
|
Frisbee, the band played too loud |
|
I got all their records, man and loved all their hits |
|
But this is the worst, it's the pits |
|
Oh, you can't keep it lit then it sticks to your lip |
|
Oh, ain't it the pits when the record skips and the |
|
TV quitsYou're in deeper and deeper, you dig into the pit |
|
The climb is always steep, you can't get a lift |
|
Ain't it the pits, it's the bottom of the list |
|
It's all wing tips and double knits, it's the pits |
|
Slip out onto the freeway, down all the gears |
|
Things were just gettin' heavy when the red light appears |
|
He said, "Get outta the car, boy" |
|
He put the 'cuffs on my wrist, read me my rights |
|
Oh, things got intense |
|
I got 90 days in jail |
|
No one would go my bail, so there |
|
I sit, it's the pits |
|
When the waist line slips, 39 inch hips and your pants don't fit |
|
You're in deeper, you dig into the pit |
|
The climb is always steeper, they won't let you quit |
|
Ain't it the pits, |
|
P I T S, it's the pits |
|
When the the faucet drips, it won't never quit |
|
Oh, like a ten cent tip |
