I see the landlord coming, gonna knock on my door
Better give me some money, boy, or you can't live here no more
Landlord, landlord, take it easy on me
Landlord, landlord, I don't have no money
I know I can't live here for free, I wish you'd stop hassling me
I work hard all day for my pay and I don't like to give it away
Landlord, landlord, leave me alone
Landlord, landlord, I call this place home
Landlord, landlord, take it easy on me
Landlord, landlord, I don't have no money
This rent day came and it went, but all of my money's been spent
I need a job, I know, 'cause I don't have no place else to go
Landlord, landlord, leave me alone
Landlord, landlord, I call this place home
