Lyrics:

I've got a soap dish but ain't got no soap
I've got a hope chest but I ain't got no hope
I've got a moustrap - no mouse
I've got a household a - no house
I've got a the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house blues

I've got a floor mat but i aint' got no floor
I've got a doorknob but I ain't got no door
I've got a teapot - no tea
I've got a keyhole - no key
I've got the no floor, no door, no tea, no key blues

Oh I've got a right to cry and do I cry, why yes indeed
'Cause I haven't got a lot at home, I've got I sure don't need

I've got a soap dish but ain't got no soap
I've got a hope chest but I ain't got no hope
I've got a moustrap - no mouse
I've got a household a - no house
I've got a the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house Blues

I've got the blues

Oh I've got a right to cry and do I cry, why yes indeed
'Cause I haven't got a lot at home, I've got I sure don't need

I've got a soap dish but ain't got no soap
I've got a hope chest but I ain't got no hope
I've got a moustrap - no mouse
I've got a household a - no house
I've got a the no soap, no hope, no mouse, no house,
no floor, no door, no tea, no key blues
