Hey, hey, somebody's knockin' on my door (x2)
It might be a collector,
Oh, baby, I don't know.

He'll try to tear your house down and this is what he'll have to say (x2)
I've got to have some money
'Cause you didn;t give me nothin' last payday.

Folks, there's one thing that I just can't stand (x2)
Your children can't even play for hollerin'
Here come that collector man.

So folks, don't buy nothin' on the installment plan (x2)
Then you won't have to worry
'Bout no collector man.

I've begged and I've borrowed 'til my friends don't want me around (x2)
I'll take old man depression
And leave this goddam town.

Depression's here, they say it's everywhere (x2)
I'm goin' back to Florida,
See if depression's there.

Oh how I wish that I could just explain (x2)
But nobody's listenin' to me,
Least of all that collector man.
