The Pits lyrics

Artist  : Sammy Hagar 
Song : The Pits



 Send "The Pits" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Now, listen... 

My paycheck after taxes barely
pays the rent 

I do the town on Friday, by
Tuesday, it's all spent. 

Two bucks an hour,
this job ain't too hip. 

My lovelife's
turning sour working the night-shift. 

It's
the pits!  It's a one way trip on a sinking ship


Ain't it the pits, but you just can't quit


When the scale won't tip or the key don't
fit. 

Two $6.50 tickets to hassle with the
crowd 

I got hit with a Frizbee, the band
played too loud. 

I got all their records,
man, and loved all their hits, 

But this is
the worst!  It's the pits! 

Oh, you can't
keep it lit then it sticks to your lip. 

Oh,
ain't it the pits when the record skips and the
TV quits. 

You're in deeper and deeper, you
dig into the pit. 

The climb is always steep
- you can't get a lift. 

Ain't it the pits!


It's the bottom of the list 

It's all
wing tips and double-knits. 

It's the pits.


Slip out onto the freeway, down all the
gears- 

Things were just gettin' heavy when
the red light appears. 

He said, "Get outta
the car, boy." 

He put the 'cuffs on my
wrist, read me my rights, oh things got intense.


I got 90 days in jail, no one would go my
bail, so there I sit. 

It's the pits!


When the waist-line slips, 39 inch hips and
your pants don't fit. 

You're in deeper, you
dig into the pit. 

The climb is always
steeper, they won't let you quit. 

Ain't it
the pits?!  P-I-T-S - it's the pits! 

When
the the faucet drips, it won't never quit


Oh, like a ten-cent tip.
