Well Mr. Crook how do you do
If I had to guess I’d say a bit confused
Another Friday not much is new
Just picking up the glass you busted through
You can place your wagers make your bets
On all the riches that you’ll get
But I’ve got some bad news
Nothing that’s the best we can offer you
Unless you want empty packs of cigarettes
Hospital bills or credit debts
Or a big case of the blues
Nothing that’s the best we can offer you
Call it bad luck or sad but true
Call it irony or getting what you’re due
I’m unemployed my girl’s broke too
Come back around and we’ll probably rob you
Our pockets empty as they get
But you can help yourself to my regrets
’Cause I got quite a few
So sorry that’s the best we can offer you
Unless you want empty packs of cigarettes
Hospital bills and credit debts
Or a big case of the blues
Nothing that’s the best we can offer you
Unless you want empty packs of cigarettes
Hospital bills and credit debts
Or a big case of those blues
Nothing that’s the best that we can offer you
Yeah nothing
A whole lotta nothing
That’s the best that we can offer you
