Kim said Jimmy, you'd better get yourself*U*p off of that raggedy couchI'm too pretty to work and I'm tiredOf you uglyin' up my houseJimmy said, Baby, the guys at the topAre doin' bad as the guys on the streetKim said, The guys at the top ain't aboutTo be payin' alimony to meShe said Go downtownSee what you can findPut your face in someone's that ain't mineLooks like the*m* unemployment bluesAre wearin' out your houseshoes*Baby left when your boots came untied*Jimmy said, Baby, ain't you *heard* the news?It's as far as the eyes can see.Foreigners are comin' in and doin' our jobsFor half of what they would've paid me.You mean half of what you would've madeFor somethin' you've never done.Sounds like the bright side to all this, JimmyIs your askin' price went up -Now get downtownSee what you can findPut your face in someone's that ain't mineLooks like them unemployment bluesAre wearin' out your houseshoesBaby left when your boots came untied.Jimmy said, Baby, if I work for your daddyIt's worse than bein' his son.Kim didn't like what he said one bitAnd it didn't surprise him none.She said, My daddy took good enough care of my mamaShe hardly had to say a thing.Jim said That's part of what's wrongKim said Don't say another damn thing -Just get downtownSee what you can findPut your face in someone's that ain't mineLooks like them unemployment bluesAre wearin' out your houseshoes.Baby left when your boots came untied.
