Woke up this morning and I had those Walking Blues (x2).
I wasn't walkin' nowhere 'cause I didn't have no floor!.
Staring over the edge of the bed.
My old lady lying next to me, I started to cry (x2).
She said "I'm gonna take this diploma,.
I'm gonna slice you in the eye! ".
Well I'm alright (he's alright) (x9).
'cause I got a degree!.
Escaping through my window.
There's a policeman on the lawn outside my home (x2).
I opened my mouth to scream but my throat was full of foam.
So I'm sittin' in this cell.
My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (x2).
I may spend the rest of my life in jail but at least it's got a floor!.
