Early in the morning
Going to meet a man
Wants a truck unloading
For cash-in-hand
You dont ask questions
When theres nothing in the bank
Got to feed the kids
And put the diesel in the tank
Bacon, egg and sausage
Double chips and beans
Tea and bread and butter
And a day on the machines
Christmas is coming
With the final demand
What you got going
For cash in hand
So it aint too pretty
Corned Beef City
It aint too pretty
Corned Beef City

Early in the morning
Where the trucks all stand
Ive got a pocket full of folding
And a pair of jerry cans
Ive got to keep it going
Theyre laying off at Ford
Im only one step ahead
Of my room and board
So it aint too pretty
Corned Beef City
It aint too pretty
