Now, listen...
|
My paycheck after taxes barely pays the rent
|
I do the town on Friday, by Tuesday, it's all spent.
|
Two bucks an hour, this job ain't too hip.
|
My lovelife's turning sour working the night-shift.
|
It's the pits! It's a one way trip on a sinking ship
|
Ain't it the pits, but you just can't quit
|
When the scale won't tip or the key don't fit.
|
Two $6.50 tickets to hassle with the crowd
|
I got hit with a Frizbee, the band played too loud.
|
I got all their records, man, and loved all their hits,
|
But this is the worst! It's the pits!
|
Oh, you can't keep it lit then it sticks to your lip.
|
Oh, ain't it the pits when the record skips and the TV quits.
|
You're in deeper and deeper, you dig into the pit.
|
The climb is always steep - you can't get a lift.
|
Ain't it the pits!
|
It's the bottom of the list
|
It's all wing tips and double-knits.
|
It's the pits.
|
Slip out onto the freeway, down all the gears-
|
Things were just gettin' heavy when the red light appears.
|
He said, "Get outta the car, boy."
|
He put the 'cuffs on my wrist, read me my rights, oh things got intense.
|
I got 90 days in jail, no one would go my bail, so there I sit.
|
It's the pits!
|
When the waist-line slips, 39 inch hips and your pants don't fit.
|
You're in deeper, you dig into the pit.
|
The climb is always steeper, they won't let you quit.
|
Ain't it the pits?! P-I-T-S - it's the pits!
|
When the the faucet drips, it won't never quit
|
Oh, like a ten-cent tip.
