Woke up this morning and I had those Walking Blues (2x) I wasn't walkin' nowhere 'cause I didn't have no floor! Staring over the edge of the bed My old lady lying next to me, I started to cry (2x) She said "I'm gonna take this diploma, I'm gonna slice you in the eye!" Well I'm alright (he's alright) (9x) 'cause I got a degree! Escaping through my window There's a policeman on the lawn outside my home (2x) I opened my mouth to scream but my throat was full of foam So I'm sittin' in this cell My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (2x) I may spend the rest of my life in jail but at least it's got a floor!
