I got nineteen kids at home gotta eat
Eighteen of 'em need shoes on their feet
Boss man can't you see?
All nineteen kids i've gotta feed

Ooh-oooh-ho-oh

Early this mo'nin landlord knock on do's
Don't pay the rent boy you gotta go
Three days three months in arrears
Five days notice you move away from here

(piano & chorus)

Worked all day any overtime
Nineteen kids drive me outta my mind

Ooh-hoho-oh-oh
Ooh-hoho-ho-oh

No use tryin' they'll never take me back
