Lyrics:

Got To Live It Up Live It Up
Mash It Up Mash It Up Mash It Up
Got To Rite It Now Got To Rite It Now

Living In The Ghetto It Aint Easy
So Much Starvation & Poverty Yea
Election Come & It’s The Same Old Story
They Show No Where Were To Go, Hey
You See One Who Live In A One Room Shack With Him Wife And Him Two Pickney
Just Because He’s Down And Out He Got The Blues

He Got The Blues , Poor Man Blues
He Feels The Blues , Poor Man Blues , Oh Yea

Now , Them Come Tell Want To Work On Sunday
Hey, Monday , Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday ,And Saturday Too
His Wife & Two Pickney Aint Got No Roof Over Their Head
As Far As Them Want The Cold Now On His Bed
Just Because He Got The Blues , The Poor Man Blues
He Got The Blues, Hey , The Poor Man Blues Now

Here Me Now, Pick It Up , Pick It Up, Pick It Up , Pick It Up
Got To Jack It Up , Jack It Up
Lift It Up, Lift It Up, Lift It Up
Mash It Up, Mash It Up, Mash It Up , Hey

 

Living In The Ghetto It Aint Easy
So Much Starvation & Poverty Yea
Election Come & It’s The Same Old Story
Said They Show No Where Were To Go, Look What I'm Saying
Now , Them Come Tell Want To Work On Sunday
Hey, Monday , Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday ,And Saturday Too
Just Because, He Got The Blues , He Got To Go On
Sitting In The Corner With Him Hand Pon Him Jaw
He Got To Pick It Up And Get Live
And Live, La La La La , Oh Oh Oh
