On The Dole Again
(tune: On The Road Again by Willie Nelson)



On the dole again
Well this morning I'm on the dole again
Now here I am standin' in the queue with my friends
Dancing down the street with my pay in hand
On the dole again
Huntin' jobs in places I ain't never been
Seein' things I don't want to see again
And so here I am on the dole again.

On the dole again
I flipped some burgers in McDonald's today
Me and Big Macs are the best of friends
The bosses insist it must be done their way
Or its the highway
And on the dole again
Well, here I am back on the dole again
Standin' here in the queue with my old friends
And tellin' the clerk why I'm back on the dole again

On the dole again
Scrapin' up some money just to pay my rent
Me and the landlord are best of friends
He insists that I pay him every cent
And out I went
Back on the dole again

Well this morning I'm on the dole again
Me and the clerk have become the best of friends
He insists I stay in line with the other men
As we wait there to pick up our dole again
Back on the dole again.
