The Lyrics
A frustrating experience with a delayed payday, that finally convinced me to sign up for Direct Deposit--the latest "Take This Job and Sing It" addition
(Where's my check?)
CHORUS: Yada yada, got the runaround (blah blah) (repeat 3x)
Yada yada, got the runaround
It's somewhere in the pipeline, but it's bound to get to you
Where's my check?
Yada yada, got the runaround
Checked the mailbox on the day
That I normally get my pay
Where's my check?
(Yada yada, got the runaround)
Only got the statement that
Told me what I'm s'posed to get
Been two weeks and nothin' yet
Where's my check?
CHORUS: (REPEAT)
Well, now I bugged the Payroll Center
By phone and by e-mail
No one called back my boss to say
If there was any check for me
I had to go back to my place
Tryin' to keep a smile
Ragin' and a-cryin'
Sure that someone's lyin' about a check
That I never did get
CHORUS: (REPEAT)
THE END
CHORUS: Yada yada, got the runaround (blah blah) (repeat 3x)
Yada yada, got the runaround
It's somewhere in the pipeline, but it's bound to get to you
Where's my check?
Yada yada, got the runaround
Checked the mailbox on the day
That I normally get my pay
Where's my check?
(Yada yada, got the runaround)
Only got the statement that
Told me what I'm s'posed to get
Been two weeks and nothin' yet
Where's my check?
CHORUS: (REPEAT)
Well, now I bugged the Payroll Center
By phone and by e-mail
No one called back my boss to say
If there was any check for me
I had to go back to my place
Tryin' to keep a smile
Ragin' and a-cryin'
Sure that someone's lyin' about a check
That I never did get
CHORUS: (REPEAT)
THE END
