Got to feed the kids And put the diesel in the tank
Bacon egg and sausage
Double chips and beans
Tea and bread and butter And a day on the machines
Christmas is coming
With the final demand
What you got going For cash in hand
So it ain't too pretty
Corned beef city
It ain't too pretty
Corned beef city
Early in the morning
Where the trucks all stand
I've got a pocket full of folding And a pair of jerry cans
I've got to keep it going
They're laying off at ford
I'm only one step ahead Of my room and board
So it ain't too pretty
Corned beef city
It ain't too pretty
Corned beef city
Early in the morning
Going to meet a man
Wants a truck unloading For cash-in-hand
You don't ask questions
When there's nothing in the bank
Got to feed the kids And put the diesel in the tank
So it ain't too pretty
Corned beef city
It ain't too pretty
Corned beef city
