lyrics

Havin’ a hard time rollin’ out today,
Put on a record just to hear the scratch play,
Slide into the tub but it’s full of hay,
Why does it gotta be this way?

Takin’ my sweet time movin’ on today,
Get in the car and crash in the driveway,
Head down to the bus stop but the driver won’t pay,
Why does it gotta be this way?

And by the way, Ida Mae, why you gotta be this way?
Ida Mae, Ida Mae, why you gotta be this way?

Yeah, they’re gonna bury me at sea,
They’re gonna look at you and look at me,
They’re gonna say, he’s no good to you, is he?
Is he?
Stand back outta the way, missy.

Havin’ a hard time rollin’ out today,
Start up breakfast but the old hen won’t lay,
Lean back on the couch but it’s nothing but fray,
Why does it gotta be this way?
