Lyrics

I must have been a prodigy, or some kind of freak

to learn to play the cello in my 17th week,

but it so happened that no matter what I did

the cello followed me like a dog does a kid

and so I worked real hard to get to here.

I paid lots of money and I bummed lots of beer.

I played my first gig at the Golden Rail,

it was the first time I heard that the checks in the mail.


The check’s in the mail


So it’s no surprise to run into you

I’ve seen you before you’re nothing new

I know your type I know your kind

you’re trying to keeping me doing from what I got in mind.

You got the nerve, the gall, the gumption ;

ask me to play for free at your private function.

Propriétaire is going to put me in jail

and all I can say is the check’s in the mail.


The check’s in the mail


I work I sweat I slave I toil,

I wrap up my potato in aluminum foil.

It’s all I can do to make ends meet -

it’s all I can do to find the food to eat.

I take my lumps just like the next guy

I eat my lumpy apple pie.

The pie, the sky, the boot, the pail ;

all you can say is the checks in the mail ?


The check’s in the mail
