Eddie From Ohio - Payday in the Village lyrics

now maria, she is a teller down at the savings and loan most of the days she finds different ways to k** time while she sits alone but it's tuesday and the fifteenth tonight is the night of the bash the workers of town plow the bank doors down to get all their paychecks cashed it's payday in the village the house band is a playing don't plan for tomorrow 'cuz everybody's staying (chorus) overnight at the pirate's patch you won't believe the buzz you'll catch it don't come through drink it don't come through smoke it comes through the joy of the village folk now alonzo, he is a foreman up at the ferguson plant from eight until four he will shell out the chores his laborers sulk 'cuz they can't but it's mid-month and a tuesday tonight at the patch they'll be found celebrated and vindicated 'cuz alonzo will pick up their rounds devil trumpets blowing angel choirs singing don't call on the telephone 'cuz we won't hear the ringing (chorus) now alonzo and maria me about half past nine he makes a deal to pick up the meal if she will just pick up the wine there's a big line at the nightclub it winds down the neighborhood block the manager thinks and he hopes they will drink 'cuz he's kept twice the beer in stock (chorus)
