Elmo Lincoln was a friend of mine
We used to throw papers every weekday afternoon
He was makin' some dough saving up for a bike
I was layin low I was killin time on those weekday afternoons
Well, our hands got black but we never got tired
Till one day I quit and Elmo got fired
We were free every weekday afternoon
We rode that bike that he'd worked for all year
But we'd buy some baseball cards, I'd give him my gum
Cause the shit was too hard and I didn't want none
