I'm livin' in a house on the other side of town
They're makin' a highway so they're rippin' my buildin' down
I gotta find a place, within a week
Or else I'll be sleepin' out on the street
Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
Walkin' up and walkin' down no vacancy
I've been searchin' 'round the town no vacancy
No apartment to be found no vacancy
On my dishwasher's pay can't find a place to stay
I found myself a place but the rent sure is a crime
It's a cold water flat that was built in Lincoln's time
The paint is peelin' right off of the wall
Good golly, the bathroom is in the hall
Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
I could budget myself, scrimp and save to get along
But it ain't no fun givin' up wine, women and song
So I'll have a roof up above my head
But under those conditions I would rather be dead
Woe is me, I'm lookin' for a vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
Walkin' up and walkin' down no vacancy
I've been searchin' 'round the town no vacancy
No apartment to be found no vacancy
On my dishwasher's pay can't find a place to stay
All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
Oh, All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
All day long I'm walkin' 'round no vacancy
