At Least I Was Paid Lyrics by Neil Hamburger

Neil Hamburger Sings Country Winners

2008

[Verse 1]
I was paid last night in casino chips
Made of corn that was stale
I was paid last week in pizza crusts
Remnants of someone else's great meal
[Chorus]
At least I was paid
However low your pay
At least you can say
At least I was paid
[Verse 2]
An Egyptian man spent thirty long years
Pushing a boulder up a hill
The Pharaoh threw him into the tomb
The king had no respect for his skill
[Chorus]
At least I was paid
However low your pay
At least you can say
At least I was paid
(Play something, folks)
[Guitar Solo]
[Slide Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
There's a volunteer fireman
Who died screaming in the flames
And what about the poor five-year-old Burmese boy
Applying gold paint to plastic chains?
[Chorus]
At least I was paid
However low your pay
At least you can say
At least I was paid
[Outro]
(At least we were paid)
