[00:47.62]Hey Mr. President
[00:50.32]All your congressmen, too
[00:53.98]You got me frustrated
[00:55.78]And I don’t know what to do
[00:58.40]I’m trying to make a living
[01:01.10]I can’t save a cent
[01:03.86]It takes all of my money
[01:06.54]Just to eat and pay my rent
[01:09.36]I got the blues
[01:13.02]Got those inflation blues
[01:20.15]You know, I’m not one
[01:21.86]Of those high brows
[01:24.58]I’m average Joe to you
[01:27.27]I came up eating cornbread
[01:29.06]Candied yams and chicken stew
[01:32.77]Now you take that paper dollar
[01:35.46]It’s only that in name
[01:38.12]The way that buck has shrunk
[01:39.91]It’s a lowdown dirty shame
[01:44.45]That’s why I got the blues
[01:48.04]Got those inflation blues
[03:01.38]Mr. President
[03:02.45]Please cut the price of sugar
[03:05.29]I wanna make my coffee sweet
[03:07.92]I wanna smear some butter on my bread
[03:10.68]And I just got to have my meat
[03:14.23]When you start rationing
[03:16.98]You really played the game
[03:19.65]And things are going up
[03:20.63]And up and up and up
[03:22.47]And my check remains the same
[03:24.27]That’s why I got the blues
[03:26.05]Got those inflation blues
