For me-why, I'm the goat

Tryin' 20 make ends meet;

And sich like things TO eat.
My rent has gone a-scootin'-
My trolley fare is more;
The doctors bin is higher still;
There's no tick at the store.
NV salary is just the same.
And it looks like chicken feed,
The kiddies' shoes is gettin' thin
Mas hat the worst I've seed.
