I don’t like the way this world’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way this world’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way this world’s a-treating me, poor me.
Gonna have to do a little bit more about it.

I don’t like the way this life’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way my wife’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way everybody’s treating me, poor me.
I sure gotta do a whole lot more about it.

I don’t like the way Mr. Hoover’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way Mr. Truman’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way McArthur’s a-treating me.
I’ll break in jail if I say too much about it.

I don’t like the way the city’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way this committee’s a-treating me.
I just don’t like the way that you’re a-treating me.
I’m gonna step up and do lots more about it.

I don’t like the way my landlord’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way Mr. Trump is a-treating me.
I don’t like the way that my landlord’s a-treating me.
I’m going to jump in the ? if it’ll do and I want to do about it.

I don’t like the way my neighbor’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way my sweetheart’s a-treating me.
I don’t like the way that the grave digger’s a-treating me.
Gonna have to do a little bit more about it.
