Appreciate’cha

If you ever lent me your coat, I appreciate'cha
If you ever kept me afloat, I appreciate'cha
If you were patient beyond your term
And my habits made you squirm
If your couch was warm and firm, I appreciate'cha

If you tolerated my noise, I appreciate'cha
If I was your awful employee, I appreciate'cha
If any solace can be found
It's never long that I'm around
You set ‘em up I'll knock ‘em down, I appreciate'cha

Workers of the world, I appreciate'cha
For your poorly compensatеd toil, I appreciate'cha
If the coal you dug today keeps thе lights on far away
Overdrafted and underpaid, I appreciate'cha

Though you live on tabs and tips, I appreciate'cha
For this modern world we're not equipped and I appreciate'cha
If it ain't just, it ain't a law worth obeying for any of y'all
Turn us loose and let it fall, I appreciate'cha

You did your best when I was at my worst and I appreciate'cha
You cared for me though I'm kinda cursed and I appreciate'cha
Look that gift horse in the eye or be unbroken by-and-by
Hang my hat and have a cry, I appreciate'cha

If this land is your land, I appreciate'cha
If abolition was your stand, I appreciate'cha
Kings and dollars, stars and bars, crosses, swastikas, and tsars
If you are skeptical of all, I appreciate'cha

If you're doing your damned best, I appreciate'cha
If every new day is a test, I appreciate'cha
Do-si-do and do-re-mi, so far so good, yet we're far from free
If you refuse to let it be
If you don't call the cops on me, oh-oh-ohh
I appreciate'cha
