Eddie From Ohio - Payday In The Village lyrics

now maria, she is a teller
down at the savings & loan
most of the days
she finds different ways
to kill time while she sits alone
but it is tuesday & the fifteenth
tonight´s the night of the bash
the workers of town
plow the bank doors down
to get all their paychecks cashed

it is payday in the village
the house band is a playing
don´t plan for tomorrow
´cuz everybody´s staying

(chorus)
overnight at the pirate´s patch
you will not believe the buzz you will catch
it don´t come through drink
it don´t come through smoke
it comes through the joy of the village folk

now alonzo, he is a foreman
up at the ferguson plant
from eight till four
he´ll shell out the chores
his laborers sulk ´cuz they can´t
but it is mid-month & a tuesday
tonight at the patch they will be found
celebrated & vindicated
´cuz alonzo will pick up their rounds

devil trumpets blowing
angel choirs singing
don´t call on the telephone
´cuz we won´t hear the ringing

(chorus)

now alonzo & maria
me about half past nine
he makes a deal to pick up the meal
if she´ll just pick up the wine
theres a big line at the nightclub
it winds down the neighborhood block
the manager thinks
and he hopes they´ll drink
´cuz he has kept twice the beer in stock

(chorus)
