My Landlady

歌詞

My landlady's too rude In my affair she likes to intrude My landlady's too rude In my affair she likes to intrude Five o'clock in the morning The landlady is peepin' No, it isn't fair This prosecution I got to bear And every Monday: "Mister give me my rent" O Lord, I try I cannot prevent She tellin' me "Mister give me my rent" This is how she start A lot of restrictions to break your heart "After ten o'clock Tenants must know my front door is locked" And on the wall she stick up a notice "No lady friends - not even a princess" And if you disagree Out you go immediately And every Monday: "Mister give me my rent" "Lord Kitchener, I ain't got a cent" She tellin' me "Mister give me my rent" No chair, no table The convenience is terrible And on the other part No hot water to take a bath And believe you sleep like a rabbit A dirty sheet with half of a blanket And she has the audacity To tell me I'm living in luxury And every Monday: "Mister give me my rent" O Lord, I try I cannot prevent She tellin' me "Mister give me my rent" No use you complain You wastin' your time, you talking in vain Because, when she get her fees She couldn't care less if you vexed or pleased And the rent is all on the level Four Guineas for single or double Boys, that landlady bad She worse than the landlord from Trinidad And every Monday: "Mister give me my rent" O Lord, I try I cannot prevent She tellin' me "Mister give me my rent"
