Finger Popped Myself Into The Poor House

Joe Tex, Gloria Thompson

[Verse 1]
It was Saturday night
Ooh Lord, I knew I had it made, yeah-yeah
I went all the week
Oh y'all, I just got paid, oh Lord have mercy
I called up fifty folks
We went out and partied a while, yeah-yeah
And I was spendin' hundred dollar bills, ha-ha
Just like money was goin' out of style, Lord have mercy
Then we went dancin'
At this big beautiful discoteque
Havin' fun, y'all, woo!
I was spendin' big
Told the bartender "Give me everybody check"
Lord have mercy, a-ha

[Pre-Chorus]
But then Monday morning
I had to pay my rent, yeah-yеah, huh
I put my hand in my pocket, y'all
And I couldn't find a lousy fifteen cents

[Chorus]
'Cause I donе finger popped myself into the poor house
I done finger popped myself into the poor (House)
We in there poppin'
Finger popped myself into the poor house
Finger popped myself into the poor house
Messin' with them women, oh Lord
(Finger popped myself) Into the poor house
Finger popped myself into the poor house
I done finger popped myself into the poor house
Finger popped myself into the poor house, woo!
(Oh yeah, good buddy, that's what you done done) Oh

[Verse 2]
Man, I finger popped
Away a real nice home, ooh Lord
A good woman and a son-daughter, yeah
And all my life savings is gone, ooh Lord, ooh y'all
I had a Cadillac, and a real nice pick up truck, yeah-yeah
But both of them got repossessed, huh
And I got to hustle me a ride to work, ooh Lord
Ooh now, now I can't find none of my friends
To see if one of them will loan me five
Down on my luck, y'all, huh
And they don't seem to care
While old Joe is out there in the street dead-alive, Lord have mercy

[Pre-Chorus]
But Monday morning, uh!
I got to pay my rent, Lord have mercy
But when I put my hand in my pocket, y'all, uh!
I don't find fifteen cents

[Chorus]
'Cause I done finger popped myself into the poor house, Lord
I done finger popped myself into the poor (House)
Messin' with them women and
Finger popped myself into the poor house
Finger popped myself into the poor house, yeah oh Lord
Finger popped myself into the poor house
That's what I done done
Finger popped myself into the poor house
I done finger popped myself into the poor house
Finger popped myself into the poor house, woo
(Oh yeah, good buddy, that's what you done done)

[Outro]
(You done finger popped yourself into the poor house)
That's what I done done, y'all
(Finger popped yourself into the poor house)
Y'all don't have to rub it in
(Finger popped yourself into the poor house)
I know I done made a mistake
(Finger popped yourself into the poor house)
I can't afford to buy a pound of grapes, Lord
(Finger popped yourself into the poor house)
Them women got to shakin' their thing
(Finger popped yourself into the poor house)
