Louis Jordan - A Dollar Down lyrics

A dollar down and a a dollar when I'm caught Yeh Lord I'm stuck with all this mess I bought Every time somebody knocks I tip to the bathroom in my socks On account of that dollar down and a dollar when I'm caught Yeh a dollar down and a dollar when I can Lord I'm stuck with that easy credit plan Though my baby's dressed to k** It keeps me back home with these bills On account of that dollar down and a dollar when I can I saw a nice place on the Avenue They said come in boy what can we do to you I said all I got is a dollar and a dime I'd like to buy some little old stuff on time They grabbed me and pushed me into the door And loaded me down with everything in the store ? Yo teeth may grit and yo eyes may shine But you cannot cut out till these papers you sign Along about noon I started to write When I finished it up it was past midnight (etc etc)
