I just got paid today
Got me a pocket full of change
Said, I just got paid today

Got me a pocket full of change
If you believe like workin' hard all day
Just step in my shoes and take my pay

I was born my papas son
When I hit the ground I was on the run
I had one glad hand and the other behind

You can have yours, just give me mine
When the hound dog barkin' in the black of the night
Stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right

I just got paid today
Got me a pocket full of change
Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool?

Yes, I do, man, my bag is full
It's the root of evil and you know the rest
But it's way ahead of what's second best
