Put Something in the Pot, Boy!

  • 15 jaar geleden
I like to direct this song to my sweet son!! (who just turned 21!)

Ive got a roommate, livin' out my place
When I got mooches it's an awful disgrace
Everything he gets, he gets for free
And who's the fall guy? Me..
He's getting fat, and I'm getting thinner
He's like the man who came to dinner
But I had him on the carpet, just the other night
Cause I made up my mind, I'll better set him right..

Put something in the pot, boy
Every penny helps a lot, boy
Start kickin' in with half the costs
And if you wont get it up, brother just get lost

Put something in the pot, boy
Every nickel helps a lot, boy
Pay heed to everything I said
Cause if you dont get it up you're gonna lose your bed

Now, you drink up all my beer
And you turn up every light
You've got the habit of sleepin' here
And eatin' everything that comes in sight

Put something in the pot, boy
Every quarter helps a lot, boy
Stop dreamin' bout your doggone yacht
Just put something in the pot

Now-ah, I'm a goodhearted guy, give you the shirt off my back
But brother, dont go rubbin' it in
And if you keep up this messin' around,
You gonna get my big fist on your chin

Put something in the pot, boy
Every quarter helps a lot, boy
Now what I said just aint no bluff
So dig down deep bring out some foldin' stuff
