| Hey, Mr. President | |
| All your congressmen too | |
| You got me frustrated | |
| And I don’t know what to do | |
| I’m trying to make a living | |
| I can’t save a cent | |
| It takes all of my money | |
| Just to eat and pay my rent | |
| I got the blues | |
| Got those inflation blues | |
| You know, | |
| I’m not one of those high brows | |
| I’m average | |
| Joe to you | |
| I came up eating cornbread | |
| Candied yams and chicken stew | |
| Now you take that paper dollar | |
| It’s only that in name | |
| The way that buck has shrunk | |
| It’s a lowdown dirty shame | |
| That’s why | |
| I got the blues | |
| Got those inflation blues' | |
| Cause I have | |
| Mr. President, please cut the price of sugar | |
| I wanna make my coffee sweet | |
| I wanna smear some butter on my bread | |
| And I just got to have my meat | |
| When you start rationing | |
| You really played the game | |
| And things are going up and up and up and up | |
| And my check remains the same | |
| That’s why | |
| I got the blues | |
| Got those inflation blues |
