He left his house; he should have stayed He went to work so he'd get paid So he'd afford his brand new maid Other things that make life great He hopped a bus and then a train Few more stops he'd have it made But something happened on this day That put this man into his grave The train broke down he took a cab He told the man to make it fast They ran into a concrete slab Then cries and screams for many times He left the cab, walked down the street There a person he did meet Who thought his gun was pretty neat And wanted to see someone bleed Stumbling on for two more blocks His body was in total shock Punch in time was eight o'clock He's hours late, so he'd be docked Twenty feet from where he worked He fell upon some teenage jerks They took his cash then went berzerk And killed the poor old office clerk He should have stayed home He should have stayed home He should have stayed home
