Junior Walker
Little Junior Walker walking down the street
Headed down to the Speedy for a bite to eat
Gold tooth display and a scruffy chin
He come runnin’ up with a big ole grin
And he said don’t you know that
Everybody wants a bigger piece of the pie
They’ll screw you over in the blink of an eye
Me, I’m happy out here just barely gettin by
Oh by the way do you have a dime
Said he used to have a good job and be cool
Had him a family and a good wife too
Til one day it came crashing down
Those Lehman Brothers spun him around
And made him look clown, don’t you know that
Everybody wants a bigger piece of the pie
They’ll screw you over in the blink of an eye
Me, I’m happy out here just barely gettin by
Oh by the way do you have a dime
Just like I learned every Sunday
The Good Lord can give and he can take away
You better do what you want
Cause you’re not promised anything
No not a thing
Everybody wants a bigger piece of the pie
They’ll screw you over in the blink of an eye
Me, I’m happy out here just barely gettin by
Oh by the way do you have a dime
