Pigeon John I Lost My Job Again Lyrics

1st Verse:

Woke up in the morning with my manager yelling about
Late rent and debt with the threat of her throwing me out
I promise with a sweat bead hanging that I would pay
As soon as I get a job so so I can stay
She said I had 2 weeks and its coming up quickly
b___ naked in the kitchen looking through LA Weekly
Searching in the Want Ads frantically
So something similiar to fit my personality
And then boom that's when I saw it
A jewelry shop at Macy's
I can birdwatch and make cash at the same place G
Its was cool so I signed up
Slanging Swatch watches to all the people lined up
That's when they moved me to the Diamond Department
And apllied preasure to sell a larger margian
I tried my best but I always came up short
A diamond ring saleman just wasn't my sport
There was more preasure so I had to sale something
Saw a girl in the front trying to decide want did she want
I said "Girl you need a ring" started saleing that thing
Got excited and straight forgot the bring
The price tag to my face the ring was 3 grand
And it was looking lovely on her pretty left hand
She bought for half cause I thought the tag said so
But I read it wrong noticed when she walked out the door
I sang

Chorus:

Oh my God I lost my job again
I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? (2x)

2nd Verse:

Walking home from Macy's had to dry my tears
Cause I only had 1 week to pay the rent it was clear
I had to get another gig quick asking at church
"Is anyone hiring?" and it worked
I got a job in downtown as a stock clerk
Shelving and alphabetizing files like a doctor
On a patient but my boss wasn't playing with time
Brother wanted his files then now and future in line
And you know I'm not good under preasure
I act like Radio and Rain Man together
Started messing up loosing important files and such
And finding them too late when in a crutch
My boss brought me his office for a little pep talk
"John you can do it if you don't talk but walk"
I said "That's right" but I knew I was wrong
I was so scared and behind these throngs of files
They could've been anywhere in the aisles
Under the desks behind the printers in piles
And it way past due I turned my files in last
Not good enough I felt my job just pass
And then I sang

Chorus:

Oh my God I lost my job again
I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? (2x)

Outro:

You're gonna be ok my little boy
Just shake shake it off and go home (4x)
