Nine More Gallons
written by Rick Moranis
3/2/06INTRO: D A E A
I work all day to pay the rent
Before the money’s earned, well it’s all been allocated
I got nothin’ on my plate, but I wish that I were fat
Nine more gallons and I’ll have me a hat
Workin’ nights, I’m always tired
I hope my boss doesn’t get me laid off
It’s hard to pull an empty load even if you’re stuck
Seventeen more wheels and I’ll have me a truck
CHORUS:
Two more times a lady, three more hundred blows
Four more easy pieces, five more days on the road
Seven more days a week now, eight more lives a cat
Nine more gallons and I’ll have me a hat
SOLO
Workin’ weekends to pay the bills
I wish I lived someplace like Beverly Sills
I’d love to have her autograph right here on these checks
Fifty-one more cards and I’ll be playin’ with a full deck
CHORUS
