Hard to Make a Buck

it’s so hard to make a buck

it’s so hard to make a buck

I’m all tired and outta luck

it’s so hard to make a buck

I been doing that old downtown scuffle

I’m on the lookout for a hustle

cause my baby told me that I need to help out

and make some money for myself now

when you’re flying high and got something to show for

opportunity all over

but now I’m penniless, askin’ for a day job

discarded/ I get cast out like a stray dog

it’s so hard to make a buck

it’s so hard to make a buck

I’m all tired and outta luck

it’s so hard to make a buck

I remember momma owes me a ten spot

and what about the rounds that I bought?

and these girl scout cookies that I got left

can you sell something like that?

there’s a locket that I found here at the bus stop

I can take it to the pawn shop

and when I finally got the money for the rent

I gotta start it all again

it’s so hard to make a buck

it’s so hard to make a buck

I’m all tired and outta luck

it’s so hard to make a buck
