I can't wait for payday

I CAN’T WAIT FOR PAYDAY
(Words & Music by Dave Sheriff ©1998)

VERSE
I GOT A LETTER FROM THE BANK THIS MORNING
‘ SAID I CANT’ GO ON THIS WAY
IF I’M GONNA SPEND AS MUCH AS THIS
I’LL HAVE TO GET A RAISE IN PAY
SO I TOLD THE BOSS BUT I COULDN’T SEEM
TO MAKE HIM UNDERSTAND
I’VE TRIED ALL WAYS TO MAKE HIM SEE
THE PLIGHT OF A WORKING MAN

CHORUS
I CAN’T WAIT FOR PAYDAY
THE REWARD FOR A HARD WEEKS WORK
BUT IT’S ALL BEEN SPENT
CAN’T GET AHEAD OF THE HARDTIMES
IT’S LIKE LOOKING FOR THE POT OF GOLD
AT THE RAINBOW’S END
AND I CAN’T SEE THE END

VERSE 2
I GOT MORE BILLS THAN A NEST OF HUNGRY CHICKS
BUT I CAN’T SATISFY THEIR APPETITE
THE RENT MAN’S KNOCKING ON MY DOOR
I’M GETTING PHONE CALLS DAY & NIGHT
BUT NOT FOR LONG ‘CAUSE THE TELECOM
ARE THREATENIN’ TO DISCONNECT
THEY SAY GOOD TIMES ARE COMIN’
BUT I AINT SEEN THEM YET

CHORUS

BRIDGE
THEY WANT TO SEND YOU MONEY
TO PAY OFF ALL YOU OWE
WITH JUST ONE MONTHLY PAYMENT
YOU CAN DOUBLE YOUR DEBT – OH NO!
MY CREDIT CARD’S BEEN CUT IN HALF
AND SENT BACK FROM WHERE IT CAME
WITH ANY LUCK I HOPE I’LL NEVER
SEE THAT THING AGAIN

CHORUS
