Lost My Job Again
Lyricist:John Dust, Patrick Sexton
Ladies and gentlemen Welcome to the Inglewood recreation center Up to the stage right now The one and only Pigeon John Get up to him, get your butt up here
Woke up in the morning with my manager yelling about Late rent and debt with the threat of her throwing me out I promise with a sweat bead hanging that I would pay As soon as I get a job so, so I can stay
She said I had 2 weeks and its coming up quickly Butt naked in the kitchen looking through LA Weekly Searching in the Want Ads frantically So something similar to fit my personality
And then boom that's when I saw it A jewelry shop at Macy's I can bird watch and make cash at the same place, G It was cool so I signed up Slangin' Swatch watches to all the people lined up
That's when they moved me to the Diamond Department And applied pressure to sell a larger margin I tried my best but I always came up short A diamond ring salesman just wasn't my sport
There was more pressure so I had to sell something Saw a girl in the front trying to decide want did she want I said, 'Girl you need a ring', started selling that thing Got excited and straight forgot to bring
The price tag to my face, the ring was 3 grand And it was looking lovely on her pretty left hand She bought for half 'cause I thought the tag said so But I read it wrong, noticed when she walked out the door, I sang
Oh my God, I lost my job again I got fired on the spot, yo, when will it ever end? I said, 'Oh my God, I lost my job again I got fired on the spot, yo, when will it ever end?'
Walkin' home from Macy's had to dry my tears 'Cause I only had 1 week to pay the rent, it was clear I had to get another gig quick, asking at church 'Is anyone hiring' and it worked
I got a job in downtown as a stock clerk Shelving and alphabetizing files like a doctor On a patient but my boss wasn't playing with time Brother wanted his files then now and future in line
And you know I'm not good under pressure Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I act like Radio and Rain Man together Started messin' up, losing important files and such And finding them too late when in a crutch
My boss brought me his office for a little pep talk 'John, you can do it if you don't talk but walk' I said that's right but I knew I was wrong
I was so scared and behind these throngs of files They could've been anywhere in the aisles Under the desks, behind the printers in piles And it way past due, I turned my files in last Not good enough, I felt my job just pass And then I sang
Oh my God, I lost my job again I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? I said, 'Oh my God, I lost my job again I got fired on the spot, yo, when will it ever end?'
'Have you seen John? Where's John?' 'Have you seen John?' 'Yeah, yeah, he's in the kitchen' 'Okay'
'John, what are you making coffee for?' 'You're supposed to be sorting the files' 'I was just making coffee for the whole staff' 'They don't need coffee right now' 'We need the files, that's why I came here'
'I know, sir, I, I, I just' 'Just get the job done, John' 'I'm trying my hardest, sir' 'Gee' 'I'm, I'm screwed now'
You're gonna be okay, my little boy Just shake, shake it off and go home You're gonna be okay, my little boy Just shake, shake it off and go home
You're gonna be okay, my little boy Just shake, shake it off and go home You're gonna be okay, my little boy Just shake, shake it off and go home
Ladies and gentlemen, I tell you what He's hot, I told you he'd grow up If you like what you saw He'll be at the El Core Hotel at Las Vegas, next Saturday God bless, guys
