I'm Up To My Neck In I.O.U
FFor twenty-two days I’ve stood in the welfarGe line
WithC7out an education a job was hard to Ffind
C7 F
And up in front of me were ten thousand plus nine
And I'm up to my neck in FI.O.U.’s anGd down to my lasFt dime
FI tried to sell some pencils on the Gstreet
But C7found my luck to sell was just Fweak
C7 F
I’m ashamed to have to pretend that I am blind
But I'm up to my neck in FI.O.U.’s anGd down to my lasFt dimC7e
G F
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s, I owe everybody in town
EveryDday I say I’m getting on up put D7I keep goinGg down
And I’ve signed every paper in town that I could sign
But I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
Well the internal revenue department is having fits
They claim I underpaid them by six pence
If I wound up in court I’ll serve out ninety-nine
Well I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
Yes I'm up to my neck in I.O.U.’s and down to my last dime
