MOVING DAY
Landlord said this morning to me
'Give me your key, this lot ain't free
I can't get no rent out of you
Pack up your act and skidoo, you'
'I've been waiting till my Bill comes home
He's my honey from the honeycomb
He'll have money for he told me so this morning'
Because it's moving day, moving day
I rip the carpet up off the floor
Load your oil stove and out the door
Because it's moving day
Pack your bed quilts and get away
If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
It's moving day
Moving day, moving day
I rip the carpet up off the floor
Load your oil stove and out the door
Because it's moving day
Pack your bed quilts and get away
If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
It's moving day
Landlord said this morning to me
'Give me your key, this lot ain't free
I can't get no rent out of you
Pack up your act and skidoo, you'
'I've been waiting till my Bill comes home
He's my honey from the honeycomb
He'll have money for he told me so this morning'
Because it's moving day, moving day
I rip the carpet up off the floor
Load your oil stove and out the door
Because it's moving day
Pack your bed quilts and get away
If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
It's moving day
Moving day, moving day
I rip the carpet up off the floor
Load your oil stove and out the door
Because it's moving day
Pack your bed quilts and get away
If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
It's moving day
