It′s a pity

Low down and dirty shame

Lord, it's a pityLow down and dirty shame

Tell me, how can a poor man make it?

I say, when money is the name of the game

I used to have the best credit

Every place in town

I sign my name

No money down

Things ain′t tough y'all

And old Buster leads on

Now, my name won't even buy me

A piece of bubblegum

It′s a pity

Low down, dirty shame

Tell me, how can I poor man make it?

I say, when money is the name of the game

So bad baby, yeah

Thinking here, about the good time

I know has passed

It ain′t the old ravishing me

But, it got me looking for game

It's a pity

Low down and dirty shame

Oh low, baby

Tell me, how can I poor man make it?

I say, when money is the name of the game

I need some baby

I know, oh lord, yeah

We talking about crumbs

Don′t forget about the fringe

Tell me, how can I poor make it?, hey

I say when money, yeah, is the name of the game
