The Pits Lyrics - Red - Sammy Hagar

Now, listen 

My paycheck after taxes barely pays the rent 

I do the town on Friday, by Tuesday, it's all spent 

Two bucks an hour, this job ain't too hip 

My love life's turning sour working the night shift 

It's the pits, it's a one way trip 

On a sinking ship 

Ain't it the pits, but you just can't quit 

When the scale won't tip or the key don't fit

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Two $6.50 tickets to hassle with the crowd 

I got hit with a Frisbee, the band played too loud 

I got all their records, man and loved all their hits 

But this is the worst, it's the pits 

Oh, you can't keep it lit then it sticks to your lip 

Oh, ain't it the pits when the record skips and the TV quits 

You're in deeper and deeper, you dig into the pit 

The climb is always steep, you can't get a lift 

Ain't it the pits, it's the bottom of the list 

It's all wing tips and double knits, it's the pits 

Slip out onto the freeway, down all the gears 

Things were just gettin' heavy when the red light appears 

He said, "Get outta the car, boy" 

He put the 'cuffs on my wrist, read me my rights 

Oh, things got intense I got 90 days in jail 

No one would go my bail, so there I sit, it's the pits

When the waist line slips, 39 inch hips and your pants don't fit 

You're in deeper, you dig into the pit 

The climb is always steeper, they won't let you quit 

Ain't it the pits, P I T S, it's the pits 

When the the faucet drips, it won't never quit 

Oh, like a ten cent tip
