lyrics

If I had the money, I’d buy a bucket of gin
If I had the heavy sugar, I’d buy a bathtub fulla of gin
‘Stead I’m sitting sipping soda
Oh what a fix I’m in

I can’t afford a reefer, can’t buy no rum or rye
Got no cigarette money,
Cocaine is too much to buy
Wish I could have the heebie-jeebies
But it costs too much to get high

I’m too broke to be a sinner
I can barely buy my dinner
But I’d gamble all my dough if I could
I can’t afford to be a floozy
Too broke to buy the booze
Can’t cry in a beer like I should
If I had a roll of nickels - I’d be up to no good

If I had some pocket money
I’d drink from breakfast to bed
I’d spend it like a sailor- ‘Til I was out of my head
If my pockets weren’t so empty
I’d probably wind up pretty dead
