And all da boards is squeakin’,
Front door’s hangin’ on by a nail.
Dawg won’t quit his howlin’.
Mama, she’s a-growlin’.
Bread ‘n butter’s getting’ too stale.
Neighbours all are crazy.
Feelin’ kinda lazy.
Feelin' better hittin’ da booze.
Coz I got dem
Aint-happy, snarlin’, snappy,
(Baby’s got a dirty nappy)
Grumpy Pappy bad pad blues.
Kids are all complainin’.
Carpet’s torn and stainin’.
Noise ‘n smells come in from da street.
Angry drivers hollerin’,
Cops are always follerin’.
Caint hack da dust and da heat.
Sick ‘n tired of Homin’.
Think I’ll go a-roamin’.
After all, got nothin’ to lose.
Coz I got dem
Ol’ stinkin’, dumb thinkin’,
Drives a man to whiskey-drinkin’,
Hose-kinkin’ bad pad blues.
Den I meets a pastor
Who tole me ‘bout da Master
Who travelled ‘round da Promised Land.
Left His home in glory
To tell da Gospel story
But folks jest didn’t wanna understand.
Den from death a-risin’
Everyone surprisin’.
Hebb'n’s home fer me if I choose.
Now I heard dat
Life changin’, rearrangin’
Safe haven, God cravin’,
Soul savin’ good good news.
