Lyrics

Landlord comes around, asks if I got cash I have Johnny and Rosanne And I recommend Crosby, Stills, and Nash He says, "you think you're funny You better show me the money" Well I got plenty of bills Bill Monroe, Bill Frisell, Billie Holiday I need shelter from the sun and storm A place to keep the records I've worn out Listening on long nights through and through I'm hell-bent on payin' the rent And keepin' records on the table And I won't be late If you'll take gold or platinum He says, "Rent is due, you must respond I'll say it like they do across the pond Give me Euros or a ten-pound note Heck I'll even take a cow or a billy goat" Landlord, don't you understand I'm giving you the best I've got on hand He gets red in the face, "you're a bloody disgrace! I demand you hand over the keys" I need shelter from the sun and storm A place to keep the records I've worn out Listening on long nights through and through I'm hell-bent on payin' the rent Keepin' records on the table And I won't be late If you'll take gold or platinum You say you want keys, how 'bout Alicia? Songs in A Minor Way Over Yonder in a Minor Key Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg, Brag, I don't mean to brag But if you're looking for dough I've got plenty Of do-re-mi In the key of C I need shelter from the sun and storm A place to keep the records I've worn out Listening on long nights through and through I'm hell-bent on payin' the rent And keepin' records on the table And I won't be late If you'll take gold or platinum I need shelter from the sun and storm A place to keep the records I've worn out Listening on long nights through and through I'm hell-bent on payin' the rent And keepin' records on the table And I won't be late If you'll take gold or platinum
