I hear a blackbird sing
I feel a scorpion sting
Whatever gets to me first
It's what it is, man, it could be worse

Dig up a treasure chest
Step in a hornets' nest
Whatever gets to me first
Well, that's alright, I've had worse

I got no money
I got no cash
I got no moolah
I got no stash
Lost my deposit
I never learn
I got no money to burn

I live my life on the run
Under a burning sun
A man could die of thirst
Now, that's a curse
Couldn't be much worse

I got no money
I got no cash
I got no moolah
I got no stash
Lost my deposit
I never learn
I got no money to burn

I hear a church bell ring
Commit a cardinal sin
Whatеver gets to me first
Wеll that's all right, it could be worse
