Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
Send my (G major) unemployment check
to old Miami Beach (D major)
Bellboy lady in my hand
so I don't have to reach (G major)
Honey rub that suntan lotion
all across my back (C major)
The greatest boon to (G major) mortal man
is the unemployment (D major) check (G major)
(C major) Unemployment, (G major) unemployment,
what a (D major) happy day
(G major) Paid (C major) vacations, (G major) greyhound stations
full (A major) of people on (D major) their way
Head (G major) in' south for old Miami
and that old sun (C major) deck
Thank you boss for (G major) pork and beans
and (D major) unemployment check (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
I got a card from Cousin Jake,
he's mad as he can be (D major)
Cars are sellin' by the millions,
so he can't join me (G major)
He's trudgin' through that
ice and snow,
punchin' that old time (C major) clock
Well I'm down here in (G major) old Miami,
(D major) fishin' from a (G major) dock
(C major) Unemployment, (G major) unemployment,
(D major) what a happy day
(G major) Paid (C major) vacations, (G major) greyhound stations
full (A major) of people on (D major) their way
Head (G major) ing south for old Miami
and that old sun (C major) deck
Thank your boss for (G major) broken beans
and unemploy (D major) ment check
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Everybody send the foreman
pictures of your tan
He's (D major) still back there on the job
doin' the best he can (G major)
I'll bet he kicks those old machines,
wonders why the (C major) heck
He took that steady job
(G major) and lost his (D major) unemployment check (G major)
(C major) Unemployment, (G major) unemployment,
(D major) what a happy day
(G major) Paid (C major) vacations, (G major) greyhound stations
full (A major) of people on (D major) their way
Head (G major) in' south for old Miami
and that old sun (C major) deck
Thank your boss for (G major) pokin' beans
and (D major) unemployment check (G major) (A minor) (D major)
(G major) you
