My friend the communist 
E              B      A 
Holds meetings in his RV 
E          B        A 
I can't afford his gas

So I'm stuck here watching TV 
E            B   A

E             B       A 
I don't have diddly squat 
E                 B       A 
It's not having what you want 
E             B           A

E             B     A 
It don't pay near enough

To buy the things it takes

To win me some of your love

Every time I turn around

Don't have no master suite 
E              B       A 
I'm still the king of me
