Lyrics

At the end of the week
All I got to show
Is a couple greasy dollar bills
Where does the money go?
Workin' for a livin'
Aint nothin' but a joke
But as long as I got two dollars
You can't call me broke

My Boss sits up in his office
Smokin' a big fat cigar
While I can't even afford
To put no gasoline in my car
And my paycheck
Is just second hand smoke
But as long as I got two dollars
You can't call me broke

The money trickles in
And the bills flow out
If it did me any good
You know I would shout
Workin' for a livin'
Aint nothin' but a joke
But as long as I got two dollars
You can't call me broke
