  • I got bills I gotta pay
    So I'ma gon' work, work, work every day
    I got mouths I gotta feed
    So I'ma gon' make sure everybody eats
    I got bills

    All these bills pile up my desk
    They looking like a mount
    All the little kids run around
    I can hear their stomach growl
    There's a full moon out
    And my girl just keep on howlin'
    Said she gonna leave me if I don't home with fifty thousand
    Fifty thousand? Ah damn, ah damn, ah damn, ah damn
    Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man
    Ah damn, oh man, ah damn, oh man

    I got bills I gotta pay
    So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
    I got mouths I gotta feed
    So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
    I got bills

    Woke up and I bumped my head
    Stumped my toe on the edge of the bed
    Opened the fridge and the food all gone
    Neighbor's damn dog done crapped on my lawn
    Hopped in the car and the car won't start
    It's too damn hot but I still gotta walk
    Behind an old lady in the grocery line
    Praying that my card won't get declined
    Ah damn, ah damn, ah damn, ah damn
    Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man
    Ah damn, oh man, ah damn, oh man

    I got bills I gotta pay
    So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
    I got mouths I gotta feed
    So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
    I got

    And my shoes, my shoes
    I said my shoes
    Ain't got no soul

    I got bills I gotta pay
    So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
    I got mouths I gotta feed
    So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
    I got bills I gotta pay
    So I'm gon' work, work, work every day
    I got mouths I gotta feed
    So I'm gon' make sure everybody eats
    I got bills

    Yo momma got bills, yo daddy got bills
    Yo sister got bills, Yo auntie got bills (I got bills)
    Yo uncle got bills
    Everybody got bills, everybody got bills, uh Writer/s: Eric Frederic, Gamal Lewis, Jacob Hindlin, Richkard Goransson

  • Anonymous from Four Oaks Sutton Coldfield Near Birmingham England.I thought, when I first heard it, is this some 1930s/40s ragtime piano tune been sampled by some present day DJ or rapper.
    I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a 2015 hit in Australia suddenly being inserted into some BBC radio2 shows recently in 2025 to jolly the mood up after a run of depressing heartbreak tracks. It’s absolutely great ! I could hear it never ending with those lyrics that are so funny yet so accurate. Original in a didactic way, sad but happy, heartbreaking but ironic. Just born to be!
