Woke up this morning and i had those walking blues (x2) I wasn't walkin' nowhere 'cause i didn't have no floor! Staring over the edge of the bed My old lady lying next to me, i started to cry (x2) She said "i'm gonna take this diploma, I'm gonna slice you in the eye!" Well i'm alright (he's alright) (x9) 'cause i got a degree!
Escaping through my window There's a policeman on the lawn outside my home (x2) I opened my mouth to scream but my throat was full of foam So i'm sittin' in this cell My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (x2) I may spend the rest of my life in jail but at least it's got a floor! Chorus
