We can't work it on a Monday, we can't work every day
Your Mama don't mind, your Papa don't mind, that's true
But we can't pay the rent, and we're livin' on pidgeon stew

We got so much aggravation, rent man's knockin' at the door
Let him inside, baby it's up to you
Well, we can't pay the rent, and we're livin' on pidgeon stew

Can you hear him, can you hear him knockin' on a-the door?
Let him inside, I don't think he'll go back home
Well, we can't pay the rent, and we're livin' on pidgeon stew
