Whitey on the Moon
A rat bit my sister Nell
With Whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And Whitey's on the moon
I can't pay no doctor bills
But Whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now
I'll be payin' still
While Whitey's on the moon
You know the man
Just upped my rent last night
Whitey's on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But Whitey's on the moon
I wonder why he's uppin' me?
'Cause Whitey's on the moon
I was already givin' him like 50 a week
Whitey's on the moon
Taxes takin' my whole damn check
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck
The price of food is goin' up
And if all that crap wasn't enough
A rat bit my sister Nell
With Whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And Whitey's on the moon
Was all that money I made last year
For Whitey on the moon?
How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm, Whitey on the moon
You know I just 'bout had my fill
Of Whitey on the moon
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To Whitey on the moon
With Whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And Whitey's on the moon
I can't pay no doctor bills
But Whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now
I'll be payin' still
While Whitey's on the moon
You know the man
Just upped my rent last night
Whitey's on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But Whitey's on the moon
I wonder why he's uppin' me?
'Cause Whitey's on the moon
I was already givin' him like 50 a week
Whitey's on the moon
Taxes takin' my whole damn check
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck
The price of food is goin' up
And if all that crap wasn't enough
A rat bit my sister Nell
With Whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And Whitey's on the moon
Was all that money I made last year
For Whitey on the moon?
How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm, Whitey on the moon
You know I just 'bout had my fill
Of Whitey on the moon
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To Whitey on the moon
