Eddie From Ohio - Payday In The Village Lyrics
now maria, she is a tellerdown at the savings and loanmost of the daysshe finds different waysto kill time while she sits alonebut it's tuesday and the fifteenthtonight is the night of the bashthe workers of townplow the bank doors downto get all their paychecks cashedit's payday in the villagethe house band is a playingdon't plan for tomorrow'cuz everybody's staying(chorus)overnight at the pirate's patchyou won't believe the buzz you'll catchit don't come through drinkit don't come through smokeit comes through the joy of the village folknow alonzo, he is a foremanup at the ferguson plantfrom eight until fourhe will shell out the choreshis laborers sulk 'cuz they can'tbut it's mid-month and a tuesdaytonight at the patch they'll be foundcelebrated and vindicated'cuz alonzo will pick up their roundsdevil trumpets blowingangel choirs singingdon't call on the telephone'cuz we won't hear the ringing(chorus)now alonzo and mariame about half past ninehe makes a deal to pick up the mealif she will just pick up the winethere's a big line at the nightclubit winds down the neighborhood blockthe manager thinksand he hopes they will drink'cuz he's kept twice the beer in stock(chorus)
