High cost of living

The landlord wants his money,
The grocery bill is due,
My pocket book is always flat,
And boy I'm tellin' you

My clothes are gettin' ragged,
My shoes are gettin' thin,
Just lend an ear and I'll explain,
This awful fix I'm in.

CHORUS:
It's the high, high, high, cost of livin',
Oh tell me what a workin man can do,
It's the high, high, high, cost of livin',
I'm (A) in the red and feelin mighty blue.

No T-bone steaks no pork chops,
And no more chocolate pie,
I can't afford those luxuries,
Cause prices are too high

I use to drive a Cadillac,
Until the other day,
The finance company came along,
And took my car away.

REPEAT CHORUS:

My little wife she told me,
And just the other day,
Throw out your chest and tell the rest,
That Junior's on the way

Now since we can't postpone the stork,
A helpin hand I'll need,
Oh tell me how I can afford,
Another mouth to feed.

REPEAT CHORUS:
