Say Boss Man
Lyricist:Ellas Mc Daniel
I got nineteen kids and all got to eat Eighteen of them need shoes on their feet Boss man, can't you see? All nineteen kids I got to feed Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Early this morning there's a knock on the door Don't pay the rent, boy, you got to go Three days, three months in arrears Five days notice you move away from here
Work all day and the overtime Nineteen kids drive you out of my mind Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Place I used to work, they went on sack No use trying, they'll never take me back
