[Verse 1]

Sittin' here in my suburbian home

Electricity on and I’m on the phone (Hey, hey, hey)

There ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Verse 2]

Rent and I rent, I rent all day

By the end of the week, I got no pay (Hey, hey, hey)

There ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Chorus]

And keep it in (Keep it in), Don’t make a sound (Don't make a sound)

Or you'll end up on the ground (Ah-ooh)

As you quietly go insane (Ah, ah-ooh)

Ain't no time to complain

[Verse 3]

Send my partner to work that day

To get more pay to pay our way (Pay, day, day)

There ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Verse 4]

Kids at school, nobody's fool

I know my home and our golden rule (Oh-ho)

There ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Chorus]

Now keep it in (Keep it in), Don't make a sound (Don’t make a sound)

Or you’ll end up on the ground (Ah-ooh)

As you quietly go insane (Ah, ah-ooh)

Ain't no time to complain (No, no)

[Organ Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Way to go

[Chorus]

Keep it in (Keep it in), Don’t make a sound (Don't make your sound)

Or you'll end up on the ground (Ah-ooh)

As you quietly go insane (Ah, ah-ooh)

Ain't no time to complain

[Verse 5]

I am a mother, I’m a lover

Give me all your money, bubba (Hey, hey, yeah)

There ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Verse 6]

I am your cook, give us your biggest chook (*Laughter*)

Roast potatoes, gravies, please, that's the way we like it, please

And there ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Chorus]

And keep it in (Keep it in), Don't make a sound (Don't make your sound)

Or you'll end up on the ground (Ah-ooh)

As you quietly go insane (Ah, ah-ooh)

Ain't no time to complain

[Verse 7]

I am a mother, I'm a lover

Give me all your money, bubba (Hop, skippin')

There ain't no time for me to ever complain

[Outro]

I said there ain't no time for me to ever complain (Oh, what you said)

No, there ain't no time for me to ever complain

Oh, yeah
