Lyrics
Cover Charge in Hell
Type your lyIt's hard to be a man with no money in your hand,
It'd be better if no one ould tell.
If they didn'r have no tills,
There'd be no need for bills.
There's probably a cover charge in hell.
Chorus:
Cover charge... in hell,
Cover charge... in hell.
When you reach hell's gate,
Where old Lucy stands and waits,
She'll have her hands in your pockets,
That's for sure.
No unemployment check,
And no money for my wreck.
The government has no consideration.
If a man can't find no work,
Cause he's not a soda jerk,
There ought to be some kind of compensation.
Chorus:
You might have some friends,
But that shortly will end
When they find out how much dough
You've got around.
They say a person's worth
Is measured by his purse,
So I guess that I'm just not worth a damn.
Chorus:
rics here
