Trying To Make A Living

Well I'm standing on the corner
With a nickel and a key
I'm lookin' for a man that'll go along with me

'Cause I'm tryin to make a living
Tryin' to make a living
I'm tryin to make a living
Best thing I can do

I'm gonna pawn my coat
I'm gonna pawn my shoes
Gonna pawn these clothes that ain't never been used
I'm gonna pawn my watch
I'm gonna pawn this ring
I'm tellin' you people I'mma pawn everything

'Cause I'm tryin to make a living
Tryin' to make a living
Yeah, I'm tryin to make a living
Best thing I can do

Well I'm tryin to make a living
Tryin' to make a living
Yeah, I'm tryin to make a living
Tryin' to make a living
Well I'm tryin to make a living
Best thing I can do

Well, all right
