House Rent Jump

"Happy Birthday , Mr Mann:
aw you hit the numbers big
tomorrows it's back to the hard rock pile
but tonight yr really gonna powder yr wig!"

everybody have a can of beer on me
see that one legged fellow dance
aw shake break it crack it like an egg
it's never too late for some mad romance

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY BUT IT SURE AIN'T CHEAP
UP TO YR ANKLES WELL YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP
THE PARTY'S OVER & THE MONEY'S SPENT
NOW HERE COME'S MONDAY & WE AIN'T GOT RENT

HOUSE RENT JUMP!

plant a big kiss on yr brown-eyed boy
that's what I'm talkin about!
now hold it still 'til you freeze it dry
don't move a muscle or you'll blow sky high

there's people in the kitchen I ain't seen before
this place all balled a bunch
the pad's fillin' in all midnight to six
people sportin' feathered hats & such

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY BUT IT SURE AIN'T CHEAP
UP TO YR ANKLES WELL YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP
THE PARTY'S OVER & THE MONEY'S SPENT
NOW HERE COME'S MONDAY & WE AIN'T GOT RENT

HOUSE RENT JUMP!
HOUSE RENT JUMP!
HOUSE RENT JUMP!

they're tappin' the phone like a cider keg
& the juice is runnin' down the floor
& here comes a girl in a submarine
wearin'  a green dress like a dinosaur

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY BUT IT SURE AIN'T CHEAP
UP TO YR ANKLES WELL YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP
THE PARTY'S OVER & THE MONEY'S SPENT
NOW HERE COME'S MONDAY & WE AIN'T GOT RENT

HOUSE RENT JUMP!
HOUSE RENT JUMP!
HOUSE RENT JUMP!
AW, TELL DONALD TRUMP!
