I've got those unemployment compensation
What was your last occupation blues
I've got those how much money did you earn
Stand in line and wait your turn blues
They make me feel I'm committing a sin
To get back part of what I paid in
I've got those have you had an interview
Come back in a week or two blues.

I've got those unemployment compensation
Please fill out an application blues
I've got those state your weekly minimum
You don't wanna work, you bum blues
And when I'm through with my weekly routine
I spend my money on Thorazine
I've got those by the time I get my check
I become a nervous wreck blues.

I've got those unemployment compensation
It ain't worth the aggravation blues
I've got those won't you wait, just have a chair
Nothin' in my Frigidaire blues
I'm tired of feelin' like a jerk
All I want is a chance to work
And lose those out of work humiliation
Unemployment compensation blues.

Shoh slaynt,

Bobby Bob
