Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Kim said, "Jimmy, you better get yourself up

Off of that raggedy couch

I'm too pretty to work, and I'm tired of you

Uglying up my house"

Jimmy said, "Baby, the guys at the top

 Are doing bad as the guys on the street"

Kim said, "The guys at the top ain't about to be

Paying alimony to me"

Chorus

 Get downtown

 See what you can find

 Put your face in someone's that ain't mine

Looks like the unemployment blues

 Are wearing out your house shoes

Baby left when your boots came untied

Solo

Jimmy said, "Baby, ain't you seen the news?

It's as far as the eyes can see

Foreigners are coming in and doing our jobs

For half of what they would've paid me"

"You mean half of what you would've made for

Something you've never done

Sounds like the bright side to all this, Jimmy

Is your asking price went up

Now get downtown"

Chorus

Solo

Jimmy said, "Baby, if I work for your daddy

It's worse than being his son"

Kim didn't like what he said one bit

And it didn't surprise him none

She said, "My daddy took good enough care

Of my mama, she hardly had to say a thing"

Jimmy said, "That's part of what's wrong"

Kim said, "Don't you say another damn thing

Just get downtown"
