[Verse 1]
Early in the morning
Gonna meet a man
Wants a truck unloading
For cash in hand
You don't ask questions
When there's nothing in the bank
Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank
[Verse 2]
Bacon, egg and sausage
Double chips and beans
Tea and bread and butter
And a day on the machines
Christmas is coming
With the final demand
What you got going
For cash in hand
[Chorus]
So it ain't too pretty
Corned Beef City
It ain't too pretty
Corned Beef City
[Verse 3]
Early in the morning
Where the trucks all stand
I've got a pocket full of folding
And a pair of jerry cans
I've got to keep it going
They're laying off at Ford
I'm only one step ahead
Of my room and board
[Chorus]
So it ain't too pretty
Corned Beef City
It ain't too pretty
Corned Beef City
Corned Beef City, yeah
[Verse 4]
Early in the morning
Going to meet a man
Wants a truck unloading
For cash in hand
You don't ask questions
When there's nothing in the bank
Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank
[Chorus]
'Cause it ain't too pretty
Corned Beef City
It ain't too pretty
