I hear a blackbird sing I feel a scorpion sting Whatever gets to me first It's what it is, man, it could be worse Dig up a treasure chest Step in a hornets' nest Whatever gets to me first Well, that's alright, I've had worse I got no money I got no cash I got no moolah I got no stash Lost my deposit I never learn I got no money to burn I live my life on the run Under a burning sun A man could die of thirst Now, that's a curse Couldn't be much worse I got no money I got no cash I got no moolah I got no stash Lost my deposit I never learn I got no money to burn I hear a church bell ring Commit a cardinal sin Whatever gets to me first Well that's all right, it could be worse
