[Verse 1]
I've got no money
Could you spare a dime?
I got the plan
If you got the time
[Refrain]
If you take me there
You can claim your share
Of the action
[Verse 2]
Been on the road
For a long time now
Paid all my dues
Oh, I'm ready now
[Refrain]
If you take me there
You can claim your share
Of the action
[Chorus]
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel
As I'm goin' down
That nothing can stop me
From losing ground
[Refrain]
If you take me there
You can claim your share
Of the action
[Chorus]
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
Oh, for a piece of the action
Oh, for a slice of the cake
For a slice of the cake, oh
