billy murray - profiteering blues كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i’m feeling sad, and i’m feeling bad
i went to see my doctor today
the doctor said, “your trouble’s gone to your head
and you must take my advice right away
i know just what’s wrong with you, hmm
medicine will never do
i’ve had a lot of patients with the same complaint”
when he told me what was wrong i thought that i would faint

[chorus]
i’ve got the profiteering blues
i’ve got the profiteering blues
high prices make me sick for all my clothes are worn through
i’ll have to dress like adam but what else can i do?
i’ve got the profiteering blues
i can’t afford to buy a pair of shoes
every time i get a raise, i laugh with glee
thеn along comes my landlord and takes it from me
it seems thе more i make
the more they take
i’ve got the profiteering blues

[bridge]
do you remember when prices were low?
they then seem so long, long ago?
gone are the days when free lunches went with beers
those memories just fill my eyes with tears
where are the steaks that cost a quarter?
oh, n0body knows, n0body knows
and where is all the pure milk without the water?
oh then, what we were so young, maggie
when ten bucks a week was big pay
[verse 2]
but that pay today, don’t go a very long way, umm_mm
you’ll be surprised
take your girl to a show and how those ten bucks will go
you’ll be surprised
do you remember the suits with two pair of pants
for fifteen bucks, i’ll say you do
now, you’re in luck if you get just the coat without the pants
for fifteen bucks, you know that’s true

[chorus]
underwear, underwear
you’re so high, soon we’ll have to go bare
king solomon had a thousand wives, i’ve heard them say
oh, what a chance he’d have to keep those women today
it’s no joke
we’re all dead broke
i’ve got the profiteering blues
