What can I do for a dollar? Lyrics for a temporary up-shift

What can I do for a dollar?
I’ve got too many degrees to be blue collar
But the white variety is mental squalor
For a girl like me

If I shuffle papers, I get pain in my head
Stand up all day, I’m like the walking dead
And customer service turns my heart to lead
There must be something I can do

I can sing, I can sing, I can sing
But I can’t eat my melodies
I can write, I can write, I can write
But no one’s buying my lyrics tonight


What can I do for a dollar?
Should I marry a man who’s not easily bothered
Working 9 – 6 in a cubical horror?
Well that sounds like a plan

If that man is you, please apply online
Applications close at half past cloud 9
No experience needed just belief in sublime
And a passion for drama queens

I can sing, I can sing, I can sing
But I can’t eat my melodies
I can write, I can write, I can write
But no one’s buying my lyrics tonight

I can play, I can play, oh I can play
But I can't play my rent paid
I can pray, I could pray, should I pray?
Oh dear God please give me a break!


What can I do for a dollar?
I’ve got too many ideas to be a follower
But doing my own thing is doing my head in
Oh I need a mentor

What can I do for a dollar?
I’m too dam dizzy to be a scholar
Could make some cash from this delirious holler
Cos I don’t have a day job to keep
