Again, I can't identify the tune, so it might not be a parody:


UP YOURS
As sung by Homer & Jethro.

1. All the poor folks were complainin' so the president declared
We'll have war on poverty and this land's blessings will be shared.
Now the unemployment office can be found in your phone book.
If they can't find a job for you, they'll pay you while they look.

CHORUS: I upped my income. Up yours.
You too can shop in the best stores.
No more a-knockin' at those back doors.
I upped my income. Up yours.

2. I used to gather rags and I would sell 'em by the pound,
But I haven't since the Great Society has come around.
A professional selector of pre-owned materi-ile,
But a rag-picker's not listed in the unemployment files.

3. I used to slave away at the profession that I had.
Everybody looked down on me, but it wasn't all that bad.
The welfare man said I was underprivileged and suppressed,
And he showed me how to write my name on unemployment checks.
