lyrics

GET DOWNTOWN
Mike Cooley

Kim said, "Jimmy, you better get yourself
Up off of that raggedy couch
I'm too pretty to work
And I'm tired of you uglying up my house"

Jimmy said, "Baby, the guys at the top
Are doing bad as the guys on the street"
Kim said, "The guys at the top ain't about
To be paying alimony to me"

Said get downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues
Are wearing out your house shoes
“Baby” left when your boots came untied

Jimmy said, "Baby, ain't you seen the news
It's as far as the eyes can see
Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs
For half of what they woulda paid me"

You mean half of what you woulda made
For something you've never done
Sounds like the bright side to all this
Jimmy is you're asking price went up

Now get downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues
Are wearing out your house shoes
“Baby” left when your boots came untied

Jimmy said, "Baby, if I work for your daddy
It's worse than being his son"
Kim didn't like what he said one bit
And it didn't surprise him none

She said, "My daddy took good enough care of my mama
She hardly had to say a thing"
Jimmy said, "That's part of what's wrong"
Kim said, "Don't say another damn thing"

Just get downtown, see what you can find
Put your face in someone's that ain't mine
Looks like them unemployment blues
Are wearing out your house shoes
“Baby” left when your boots came untied
