I got my paycheck today

I think I’ll spend it like a crazy fool

Or I’ll give it all away

Something like the golden rule

And my paycheck ain’t hay

But somehow I just don’t seem to care

Ever since she went away

And left my little house so cold and bare

And I won’t tell ’em at the bank

What I’m gonna do with all my dough

I’ll just smile and tell ‘em thanks

For it’s better than they shouldn’t know

Then I’ll go and have a drink

At a little place where I can sit and think

Cause my baby went away

And left me here on my payday

**Paaaaaaaaday was never like this

Paaaaaaaaday, but where is my happiness?

I don’t know!
