Lyrics

When I lost a job just the other day
I'm gon' lose this one if I don't get a recent pay
Some folks say I'm a irresponsible bloke
And therefore everybody's up there talking 'bout me (Now, lord)
Old town folks are talking 'bout poor chubby
Got one life and I'm goin' to live it
Once we love and I'm goin' to give it
Some folks say I'm a low down dirty train
And therefore everybody's up there talking about me (Now)
Old town folks are talking 'bout poor chubby
Found myself in jail just di other day
Not a single friend would try to get me bailed
This made me smile as I sing this here song (It goes, you know)
Everybody's up there talking 'bout me (Hell no)
Old town folks are talking 'bout poor chubby
Du-du-du, better leave me alone
Du-du-du
Du-bi-du-du-du
Everybody's up there talking about me (Now, lord)
Old town folks are talking about poor chubby
