Jim Dixon	Lyr Req: Depression Era Songs (104* d)	Lyr Add: RAISIN' THE RENT (Koehler/Arlen)	05 Nov 16
RAISIN' THE RENT Words, Ted Koehler; music, Harold Arlen; ©1933. From "Cotton Club Parade" As recorded by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra (with Ivie Anderson, vocalist) Good look has crossed me; bad luck has forced me Down to my last one cent. I'm right right in the middle of solving that riddle Known as raising the rent. Steal beg or borrow; got till tomorrow. Landlord's a mean old gent. It's come to a showdown and he wants the lowdown If I'm raising my rent. Better times are taking too long. Panic's on and it's hitting me too song. Got a right to sing a blues song. Trouble has got me down. I've made my mind up; I'd rather wind up Camping out in a tent Than being in the middle of solving that riddle Known as raising my rent.
