When a Fellow Is Out of a Job

Grant Rogers

[Verse 1]
All nature is sick from her heels to her hair
When a fellow is out of a job
She's all out of kilter, beyond all repair
When a fellow is out of a job

There's no juice in the earth, no salt in the sea
No ginger in life in this land of the free
And the universe ain't what it's cracked up to be
When a fellow is out of a job

[Verse 2]
What's the good of blue skies and blossoming trees?
When a fellow is out of a job
And your kids have big patches all over their knees
When a fellow is out of a job

[Chorus]
There's no juice in the earth, no salt in the sea
No ginger in life in this land of the free
And the universe ain't what it's cracked up to be
When a fellow is out of a job

[Verse 3]
Those patches, you see, look as big as the sky
When a fellow is out of a job
They blot out the landscape and cover your eyes
When a fellow is out of a job

[Chorus]
There's no juice in the earth, no salt in the sea
No ginger in life in this land of the free
And the universe ain't what it's cracked up to be
When a fellow is out of a job

[Verse 4]
Every man that's a man wants to help push the world
But he can't if he's out of a job
He's left out behind, on the shelf he is curled
When a fellow is out of a job

[Chorus]
There's no juice in the earth, no salt in the sea
No ginger in life in this land of the free
And the universe ain't what it's cracked up to be
When a fellow is out of a job

[Verse 5]
He feels he's no part in the whole of the plan
An obsolete cog, just a worn out old man
And the world is not what he's had it to plan
When a fellow is out of a job

[Chorus]
There's no juice in the earth, no salt in the sea
No ginger in life in this land of the free
And the universe ain't what it's cracked up to be
When a fellow is out of a job
