Times is hard, baby and the hustle is really on

Prices are high now darlin' and all the good jobs are gone

Sorry to say, baby, things ain't what they used to be
Sorry to say, baby, things ain't what they used to be
Better get yourself a job now, baby, I'm tired of you worrying me

If you save yours now, mama, that ain't no fault of mine

Times is hard baby, and the hustle is really on
Times is hard baby, the hustle is really on
Prices are high now darlin' and all the good jobs are gone
