Well, I work every day

And I push all the way

'Cause I got to succeed

To take care of all my needs

'Cause there's only one thing in this here world

To make you popular with all the girls

And that's bread, that's what I said

And that's bread, that's what I said

When I get my pay

It only lasts just two days

My pay is short and that's a fact

Come Monday morning, you know I'm flat

'Cause there's only one thing in this here world

To make you popular with all the girls

And that's bread, that's what I said

And that's bread, that's what I said

When I'm out to impress a girl

Show her how tall I stand in this world

There's only one thing that works for me

Good old U.S. currency

And that's bread, that's what I said

And that's bread, that's what I said

Now I'm working overtime

Trying to make an extra dime

She went and found another man

Who makes more bread than I can

You see there's only one thing in this here world

To make you popular with all the girls

And that's bread, that's what I said

And that's bread, that's what I said

Talkin' 'bout money, baby, oh, talkin' 'bout it, yeah

Dust in my pockets, baby, ooh, you know it's true

Without a penny, what can I do?

I just ain't no good, oh baby
