Fifty-five Bar Blues

somebody dropped a gentle hint
they left me the hole but took my mint
now all I got left is the 55 bar blues

they've taken my tools to deal with life
my left-handed spoon and fork and knife
now all I got left is the 55 bar blues

I just hit my boss
couldn't give a toss
he had it coming anyway

now I got no job
guess I'll be a slob
in 55 bars a day

caught up in a trap
now I've cut the crap
I've thrown that stupid job away

better be a bum
relishing the rum
in 55 bars a day

somebody took but didn't ask
the vacuum from my vacuum flask
now all I got left is the 55 bar blues

all I got left is the 55 bar blues
