Eddie Burns Inflation Blues Lyrics

Inflation Blues Lyrics

I have ten kids  at home got to eat

And eight of those kids  need shoes on
their feet

Now listen mister President  and all you Congressmen too

I have ten kids  that I got to clothe and feed



Things are
gettin' worse in the city

Things are gettin' worse in the city

Things are gettin' tough

And I got those mean inflation blues



My landlord rang  my front door bell

And I just let it ring 
for a long long spell

I asked him to tell me  what was on his mind

He said you gotta pay up or move young man  Your rent is too far behind



Things are gettin' worse in the city

Things are gettin' worse
in the city

Things are gettin' tough

And I got those mean inflation
blues



I don't make much money  I can't save a cent

It takes
all I can make  just to eat, I can't pay the rent

I got lots o' other
bills  and they're all behind

When you see me laughin' people  I'm
laughin' to keep from cryin'



Things are gettin' worse in the
city

Things are gettin' worse in the city

Things are gettin'
tough

And I got those mean inflation blues
