I was paid last night in casino chips Made of corn that was stale I was paid last week in pizza crusts Remnants of someone else's Great meal At least I was paid However low your pay At least you can say At least I was paid An Egyptian man spent thirty long years pushing a boulder up a hill The Pharaoh threw him into the tomb The king had no respect For his skill At least I was paid However low your pay At least you can say At least I was paid (Play something folks) There's a volunteer fireman Who died screaming in the flames And what about the poor Burmese boy? Applying gold paint to plastic chains At least I was paid However low your pay At least you can say At least I was paid At least we were paid!
