==========

A rat done bit my sister Nell (with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell (and Whitey’s on the moon)
I can’t pay no doctor bills (but Whitey’s on the moon)
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still (while Whitey’s on the moon)
You know, the man jus’ upped my rent las’ night (’cause Whitey’s on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights (but Whitey’s on the moon)
I wonder why he’s uppin’ me? (’cause Whitey’s on the moon?)
I wuz already givin’ him fifty a week (with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin’ my whole damn check,
The junkies makin’ me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin’ up,
An’ as if all that crap wuzn’t enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell (with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an’ arm began to swell (and Whitey’s on the moon)
Was all that money I made las’ year (for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain’t no money here? (Hmm! Whitey’s on the moon)
Y’know I jus’ ’bout had my fill (of Whitey on the moon)
I think I’ll sen’ these doctor bills, Airmail special… to Whitey on the moon
