(CHORUS:)
Sadie, Sadie, what you gonna do when
    the rent's too high?
Sadie, Sadie, what you gonna do when
    the rent's too high?

Try to pay it the best I can,
Eat a little more food from the can,
If that don't work then what'll I do?
A little less food each week will do.

(CHORUS)

Tell the boss I need a raise,
Tell the boss I'll work extra days;
If that don't work then what'll I do?
Clean houses on Saturdays, that's what I'll do.

Tell the landlord I can't pay,
Tell the landlord to go away;
Call my neighbors, what'll I do?
We'll strike together when the rent is due.

(CHORUS)
