Lyrics Hey everybody I'm a talking to you I ain't telling you jealous It's just the natural truth Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do? My money's gone, the fun is gone The way things look I can't be here long Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do? Taking all my money to pay the tax I'm telling you people the natural facts I'm telling you people, in my belief I am headed straight on relief Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do? I ain't got a dime, ain't got a cent Ain't got no money to pay my rent She wants some clothes, she wants some shoes I'm telling you people I don't know what to do Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues Talking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do? Taking all my money to pay the tax I'm telling you people the natural facts I'm telling you people, in my belief I am headed straight on relief Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do? Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues Talking about me and you and what the hell are we gonna do?

Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?

My money's gone, the fun is gone
The way things look I can't be here long
Oh oh oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?

Taking all my money to pay the tax
I'm telling you people the natural facts
I'm telling you people, in my belief
I am headed straight on relief
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?

I ain't got a dime, ain't got a cent
Ain't got no money to pay my rent
She wants some clothes, she wants some shoes
I'm telling you people I don't know what to do 
Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Talking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?

Taking all my money to pay the tax
I'm telling you people the natural facts
I'm telling you people, in my belief
I am headed straight on relief

Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Thinking about me and you and what on earth are we gonna do?

Oh I got the Eisenhower Blues
Talking about me and you and what the hell are we gonna do?
