  			   A                                 E 
My sister?s kid is tattooed from his head down to his toes 
                              A  
He claims trouble follows him everywhere he goes 
                                    D                Bm 
He?s such a lazy, loafing, good for nothing, drunken slob 
    E                                             A 
But still he thinks I oughta give his sorry ass a job 
 
A                             E 
People and their problems are giving me a pain 
                              A 
People and their problems are messin? with my brain 
                                 D               Bm 
I try to help them some but they always stay the same 
E                                          A 
People and their problems are driving me insane 
 
 
 
The national debt is all the president can talk about 
He claims he can?t do nothin? for the Congress and the House 
Our cars are getting repo?d and we?re ?bout to lose our homes 
Then look up on the TV, see him playin? saxaphone 
 
Chorus 
 
Old Willie, he stays higher than a hundred dollar kite 
He huff?s and puffs and smokes that stuff every day and night 
His friends all try to change him beggin?, ?Please quit, Willie, please!? 
But still they hang around and breathe the same air that he breathes
