Here's the version in the Digital Tradition:

MOVING DAY

C
The landlord said this mornin' to me
G7 C
Let's have that key, this rent ain't free
C
I can't live on nothin', you see
G7 C C7
Pack up your bags and skidoo, you

F C
I'm just waitin' for my Bill to get home
C D7
He's my honey from the honeycomb
D7 G
He said that he'd never leave me alone this mornin', because it's
C D
CHORUS: Movin' day, movin' day
G
Rip the carpet right off of the floor
[1/2 barre + 5
Get on your overcoat and get out the door
C F
It's movin' day, pack up your bags and get away
F
If you can't pay your rent you got to live out in a tent
G C
It's moo-oo-oovin' day

Bill come back all covered with snow
I said, "Hello. Let's have some dough.
Here's the landlord waitin' for rent."
Bill says, "I ain't got a cent. No."
Try and catch me, mister landlord man,
I'll be leavin' just as soon as I can
I'm goin' back to Dixieland this mornin', because it's ...
