I got the hungrys for your love and I`m waitin` in your welfare line
Well I ain`t got nothing but the shirt on my back and an old two button suit
I walked out on my job about a week ago and now I`m sleepin` in a telephone booth
But I`m a gonna be the richest guy around the day you say you`re mine
I got the hungrys for your love and I`m waitin` in your welfare line
Well when I first met you babe you nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac
Yeah I knew at a glance that it was you for me I had to have your love by heck
Now I`m right back where that I started from but that ain`t gonna change my mind
I got the hungrys for your love and I`m waitin` in your welfare line

Well you made me the top dog on your hill and I was overjoyed
But it didn`t take long untill the thrill was gone I joined the ranks of the unemployd
Now I`m right back where that I started from but that ain`t gonna change my mind
I got the hungrys for your love and I`m waitin` in your welfare line
I`m waitin` in your welfare line gimme a hand out I`m waitin` in your welfare line
