It's Monday mornin' look like the sun ain't gonna shine
You know I got to sing a song to keep my head above the line
I'm smokin' stale cigarettes and drinkin' cold coffee my oh my

Lookin' for a place man all the way around the bay
It's only simple tunes but I can't find a cat to play
Well I ain't got no money but I'll help ya find a place to stay

Well I think I'll get a job maybe work a gas station for pay
It sure ain't no fun but I can see that it's the only way
Because the rent is due I'm gonna be out on the street in a day

Aw it's another Monday mornin' look like the sun ain't gonna shine
You know I got to sing a song to keep my head above the line
I'm smokin' stale cigarettes and drinkin' cold coffee my oh my
