lyrics

Moving Day

Henry von Tilzer 1906


Landlord says this morning to me

"Give me your key, this place ain't free
I can't get no rent out of you
 so pack up your things and skidoo."

"I'm just waiting for my Bill to come home


He's my honey from the honeycomb

He'll have money cuz he told me so this morning"

ch:
Because it's moving day, moving day

Rip the carpet up off the floor
, pick up your overcoat and get out the door
Because it's moving day
, pack up your bags and get away
If you can't pay the rent you can live out in a tent
It's moo-oo-ooving, whoa it's moving day

Bill comes in all covered with snow
I say, "Hello, give me some dough.

Here's the landlord looking for rent

And Bill says, "I ain't got a cent."

We'll be leaving just as quick as we can,

You can try and catch us Mister Landlord Man
We'll be heading back to Dixieland this morning.
