Moving Day - Loudon Wainwright III

Landlord said this morning to me

Give me your key, this flat ain’t free

I can’t get no rent out of you

Pack up your rags and skidoo

I said, wait until my Bill comes home

He’s my honey from the honeycomb

He’ll have money 'cause he told me so this morning

Because it’s moving day, moving day

Rip the carpet up off of the floor

Take your oil stove and out the door

It’s moving day, pack your folding bed and get away

If you’ve spent every cent you can live out in a tent

Because it’s moving day

Because it’s moving day, moving day

Rip the carpet up off of the floor

Take your oil stove and out the door

It’s moving day, pack your folding bed and get away

If you’ve spent every cent you can live out in a tent

Because it’s moving day

Bill came in all covered with snow

I said hello, gimme some dough

Here’s the landlord waitin' for rent

Bill says, I ain’t got a cent

Here’s two chickens I brought home for stew

Landlord, take them for the rent that’s due

Landlord said, my chicken coop was robbed this morning

And so it’s moving day, moving day

Rip the carpet up off of the floor

Take your oil stove and out the door

It’s moving day, pack your folding bed and get away

If you’ve spent every cent you can live out in a tent

Because it’s moving day
