The tune was written in 1949 and recorded in 1989
Here are the words:

I've got those "What was your
last occupation?" unemployment
compensation blues.
I've got those "How much money did you
earn? Stand in the line and wait your turn" blues.
They make me feel I'm committing a sin to
get back part of what I've paid in.
I've got those "Have you had an interview?
Come back in a week or two" blues.

I've got those unemployment compensation,
"Please fill out an application" blues.
I've got those "State your weekly minimum.
You don't want to work, you bum!" blues.
And when I'm through with my weekly
routine, I spend my money on Thorazine.
I've got those by-the-time-I-get-my-check,
I-become-a-nervous-wreck blues.

I've got those unemployment compensation,
it-ain't-worth-the-aggravation blues.
I've got those "Won't you wait? Just have a
chair," nothing in my Frigidaire blues.
I'm tired of feeling like a jerk, all I want is a
chance to work
And lose those out-of-work, humiliation,
unemployment compensation blues.
