Get Downtown

I’m too pretty to work and I’m tired
Of you uglyin' up my house"
Jimmy said, «Baby, the guys at the top
Are doin' bad as the guys on the street»
Kim said, «The guys at the top ain’t about
To be payin' alimony to me»
She said «Go downtown
See what you can find
Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine
Looks like the*m* unemployment blues
Are wearin' out your houseshoes
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 jobs
For half of what they would’ve paid me.»
«You mean half of what you would’ve made
For somethin' you’ve never done.
Sounds like the bright side to all this, Jimmy
Is your askin' price went up —
Now get downtown
See what you can find
Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine
Looks like them unemployment blues
Are wearin' out your houseshoes
Baby left when your boots came untied."
Jimmy said, «Baby, if I work for your daddy
It’s worse than bein' his son.»
Kim didn’t like what he said one bit
And it didn’t surprise him none.
She said, «My daddy took good enough care of my mama
She hardly had to say a thing.»
Jim said «That's part of what’s wrong»
Kim said «Don't say another damn thing —
Just get downtown
See what you can find
Put your face in someone’s that ain’t mine
Looks like them unemployment blues
Are wearin' out your houseshoes.
Baby left when your boots came untied."
