Dear mr. president I live in the suburbs It Had me a job Working for wages And they forgot about me Can For some unknown reason My kids are hungry I I go out everyday lookin Employment Do you think, there You could do for me Cause i Chorus: Down and out, here in paradise Down and out, and i I Looks like the milk and honey Done run out on me Dear mr. president I used to be a dancer Got a little bit too old So i became a secretary Married as man In las vegas, nevada And ten years later He run out on the kids and me Some said, i was pretty But those days are over Now, i And i Oh, mr. president Can i tell you a secret I never ever thought, that this could Happen to me Cause i Chorus: Down and out, here in paradise, Down and out, and i I Looks like the milk and honey Done run out on me Dear mr. president I I At riley elementary My mom and dad I If it ain My daddy My mom And i don Cause i hear, they hate me Dear mr. president Can i ask you one question? When the bombs fall down Will they hurt everyone in my family Yeah, yeah Chorus: Down and out, here in paradise Down and out, and i I Looks like the milk and honey Done run out on me
