[Intro]
A-huh-huh (a-um)[x2]
[Verse 1]
I got nineteen kids at home got to eat
Eighteen of them need shoes on their feet
Boss man can't you see?
All nineteen kids I've got to feed
[Chorus]
Ooh-oooh-ho-oh
Ooh-hoooh-oh
[Verse 2]
Early this morning landlord knock on doors
Don't pay the rent boy you got to go
Three days, three months in arrears
Five days notice you move away from here
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Worked all day any overtime
Nineteen kids drive me out of my mind
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Place I used to work they went on a strike
No use trying they'll never take me back
A-huh-huh (a-um)
[Outro]
(A-huh-huh) a-huh-huh, move (hey) (a-um) (hey)
Never going to move (hey) (a-um) (hey)
(A-huh-huh) I got to move (a-um)
(A-huh-huh) uh-huh-huh
