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)
