Minimum Wage Lyrics - Singles - Pratt Dave And The Sex Machine Band

Well, I get up i the morning at six o'clock 

Pull on my jeans and I punch the clock 

I'm not getting rich, I'm happy as can be 

Yeah, minimum wage is the life for me 

Well, no fancy stereo in my truck 

Just two broken speakers and a lot of luck 

I don't have a house, tent city's just fine 

It may not be much but it's all mine 

CHORUS 

I'm not gettin' rich, I'm happy as can be 

We can't afford kids but we got three 

Minimum wage, that's the life for me 

Yeah, minimum wage...that's the life for me 

Well, clippin' coupons from the grocery store 

Name brands if you can buy 'em 

But generic for the poor 

Can't afford to go to no fancy mall 

It's the Blue Light Special, and man, that's all 

Steak and lobster, don't need that jive 

Hamburger Helper keeps me alive 

Stand in line at the money machine 

But there ain't no cash...ya know what I mean 

CHORUS 

I had a dream last night I was J. Paul Getty 

Eatin' prime rib instead of spaghetti 

Had a butler, a maid and bars in my cars 

Saks Fifth Avenue and Visa cards 

There I was in the city of Paris 

Movie stars, fancy restaurants, the Eiffel Tower and me 

Diamonds on my hand, had it all first rate 

Franklins in my wallet, life sure was great 

CHORUS
