What About Me Mr President - Lyrics by Johnny Philko


Lyrics

What About Me? Mr. President
All of my money
I done spent
I prayed to the Lord
But nothin’s been sent

Can’t you see
I’m down at your feet
About like a dog
Beggin’ for a scrap of meat


I’m counting on you
To carry me through


-----Lead-----


What about them Lord
They can’t pay their rent
Maybe they should all go out
And live in a tent


The answer’s unkind
It could blow your mind
What About Me? Mr. President
