The landlord said this morning to me
"Give me your key, this rent ain't free
I can't live on nothin', you see—
Pack up your clothes and skidoo, you."

I'm waitin' till my Bill comes home
He's my honey from the honeycomb
He said that he'd never leave me alone
This mo-ornin'

[Chorus:]
'Cause it's moving day
Moving day
Rip the carpet up off the floor
Get on your old coat, get out the door, because it's
Moving day
Pack up your clothes and get away
If you can't pay your rent, gotta live out in a tent, because it's
Moo-hoohoo-hoohoo-vin' day

The rent's been due since middle of May
What can I say, goin' away
Gas my Ford up an' do it today
Get on the road and I'll go, slow

Come and get me, Mr Landlord Man
True fine mama, take me by the hand
I'll be goin' back to Dixieland
This mo-ornin'
[Chorus]
