I got my paycheck today I think I'll [A] spend it like a crazy fool
Or I'll give it all away Something like [D] the golden rule
And my paycheck ain't hey But somehow I just [A] don't seem to care
Ever since you went away And left my little [D] house of gold unbeared
And I won't tell them at the bank What I'm gonna [A] do with all my dough
I'll just smile and tell them thanks Thanks for it's [D] better than they should know
And then I'll go and have a drink At a little [A] place where I can sit and think
As my baby went away And left me here in [D] my payday
