Send "Down And Out In Paradise" ringtone to your cell

Well dear mr. president i live in the suburbs

It's a long way from washington d.c

Had me a job workin' for wages

Till the company moved out and they forgot about me

Can't draw unemployment for some unknown reason

My kids are hungry i've got four mouths to feed

I go out every day looking for suitable employment

Do you think there's something you could do for me?

'cause i'm down and out here in paradise

Down and out and i'm on my knees

I'm down and out here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey done run out on me

Dear mr. president i used to be a dancer

Got a little bit too old so i became a secretary

Married a man in las vegas nevada

And ten years later he ran out on the kids and me

Some said i was pretty but those days are over

Now i've no place to live and i'm out on the streets

Oh mr. president can i tell you a secret?

I never ever thought that this could happen to me

'cause i'm down and out here in paradise

Down and out and i'm on my knees

I'm down and out here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey done run out on me

Dear mr. president i'm just a young kid

I'm in the fourth grade at riley elementary

My mom and dad's been actin' funny i'm not sure what

If it ain't got something to do with me

My daddy's always drunk my mom's a babysitter

And i don't like the russians 'cause i hear they hate me

Dear mr. president can i ask you one question?

When the bombs fall down will they hurt everyone in my family?

I'm down and out here in paradise

Down and out and i'm on my knees

Down and out here in paradise

Looks like the milk and honey done left me

Well well 'cause i'm i'm down and out here in paradise

Down and out and i'm on my knees
