Inflation Blues lyrics

I have ten kids at home got to eat
And eight of those kids need shoes on their feet
Now listen mister President and all you Congressmen too
I have ten kids that I got to clothe and feed

Things are gettin` worse in the city
Things are gettin` worse in the city
Things are gettin` tough
And I got those mean inflation blues

My landlord rang my front door bell
And I just let it ring for a long long spell
I asked him to tell me what was on his mind
He said you gotta pay up or move young man Your rent is too far behind

Things are gettin` worse in the city
Things are gettin` worse in the city
Things are gettin` tough
And I got those mean inflation blues

I don`t make much money I can`t save a cent
It takes all I can make just to eat, I can`t pay the rent
I got lots o` other bills and they`re all behind
When you see me laughin` people I`m laughin` to keep from cryin`

Things are gettin` worse in the city
Things are gettin` worse in the city
Things are gettin` tough
And I got those mean inflation blues
