Daniel Norton Smith - Waiting For The Paycheck

Waiting for the paycheck,
the post it never comes.
Waiting for the paycheck,
I'll have to do some sums.

Should I borrow more?
or simply go without?
If you see me on the street,
do give me a shout.

Waiting for the paycheck,
it's agony without.
Waiting for the paycheck;
it's social norms I flout.

I'll be wearing a silly hat
and dancing in a bar.
That cotton-pickin' paycheck,
sure doesn't go far.

Daniel Norton Smith
