The rent is due,

In dark of night,

No gas for you,

No pilot light,

They’ll disconnect,

Your telephone,

No calls for you,

You’re all alone,

No charge at all,

The lights grow dim,

The heat seeps out,

From home within,

The tub is dry,

The shower stalls,

Your payment’s late

The bill it calls,

The rent is due,

The rent is due.
