Landlord said this morning to me,
"Give me your key, this flat ain't free.
I can't get no rent out of you -
Pack up your rags and skidoo."
I said, "Wait until my Bill comes home -
He's my honey from the honeycomb.
He'll have money 'cause he told me so this morning."
Because it's moving day, moving day -
Rip the carpet up off of the floor,
Take your oil stove and out the door.
It's moving day -
Pack your folding bed and get away.
If you've spent every cent you can live out in a tent,
Because it's moving day.
Bill came in all covered with snow.
I said, "Hello, gimme some dough.
Here's the landlord waitin' for rent."
Bill says, "I ain't got a cent.
Here's two chickens I brought home for stew -
Landlord take them for the rent that's due."
Landlord said, "My chicken coop was robbed this morning."
And so it's moving day, moving day -
Rip the carpet up off of the floor,
Take your oil stove and out the door.
It's moving day -
Pack your folding bed and get away.
If you've spent every cent you can live out in a tent,
Because it's moving day.
