[Chorus: Wiker] I'm a little bit short on cash Because I'm trying to pay back All the money that I borrowed for college And if I never pay it off Well at least for the cost I guess I got a little bit of knowledge I'm a little bit short on cash Because I'm trying to pay back All the money that I borrowed for college And if I never pay it off Well at least for the cost I guess I got a little bit of knowledge [Verse 1: Wiker] I'll probably be in debt till I'm 40 or 50 Depends how many kids I have and if my wife is thrifty Maybe she'll be a doctor and can give me The money I need to get out of debt quickly But I don't know, probably not and that's okay We'll be poor together only see matinees Can't pay to see a film at night because the price Is too high rising right up out of our sites But really it doesn't even matter to me I've been living this way since I went to college at 18 Since then I changed a lot, came up with a plot To get out of debt (will it work?) probably not But regardless either outcome is harmless Even if I did have money I would still be cautious Nauseous whenever I spend a couple of dollars Because I feel like I should have been using that money for college [Chorus: Wiker] I'm a little bit short on cash Because I'm trying to pay back All the money that I borrowed for college And if I never pay it off
Well at least for the cost I guess I got a little bit of knowledge [Verse 2: Wiker] I'll probably be in debt till I'm 40 or 50 Because as soon as one's paid off I'm sure another one will hit me College debt gone, but now I got a mortgage I can't afford a car, use the garage for storage I forage around in public gardens Because anything edible's an incredible bargain But I can't find meat and now plus I gotta sleep Man I don't know what to do because I'm never replete But now it's probably time for me to retreat Because I think one of my co-workers saw me and then he called the police And obviously I don't have the means to buy my release I think it's probably prudent I just preserve the peace If I were to take a sheet and in the span of a week I wrote up all of my expenses it would look pretty bleak But honestly it's all just what you want it to be If all I cared about was money I would work on Wall Street [Chorus: Wiker] I'm a little bit short on cash Because I'm trying to pay back All the money that I borrowed for college And if I never pay it off Well at least for the cost I guess I got a little bit of knowledge I'm a little bit short on cash Because I'm trying to pay back All the money that I borrowed for college And if I never pay it off Well at least for the cost I guess I got a little bit of knowledge
