INTRO : C
CKim said, "Jimmy, you better get yourself up
FOff of that raggedy couch
GI'm too pretty to work, and I'm tired of you
FUglying up my Ghouse"
CJimmy said, "Baby, the guys at the top
Are doing Fbad as the guys on the street"
GKim said, "The guys at the top ain't about to be
FPaying alimony to mGe"
CHORUS:
Get dowCntown
See what you can Ffind
Put your Gface in someone's that ain't Cmine
Looks like the unemployment blues
Are Fwearing out your house shoes
GBaby left when your boots came unCtied
SOLO
Jimmy said, "Baby, ain't you seen the news?
It's as far as the eyes can see
Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs
For half of what they would've paid me"
"You mean half of what you would've made for
Something you've never done
Sounds like the bright side to all this, Jimmy
Is your asking price went up
Now get downtown"
CHORUS
SOLO
Jimmy said, "Baby, if I work for your daddy
It's worse than being his son"
Kim didn't like what he said one bit
And it didn't surprise him none
She said, "My daddy took good enough care
Of my mama, she hardly had to say a thing"
Jimmy said, "That's part of what's wrong"
Kim said, "Don't you say another damn thing
Just get downtown"
