Well the coffee boiled and the sun fled 
Ah there's grime on the windows, and the streets are dead 
It been Tuesday all week and it's Tuesday again 
Today is a Parisian, I am an American 
And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, 
I hope you ain't gonna go away 

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day 
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me 
Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day 

It look like February 19th and November 8th 
They had an ugly little baby and they're gonna call it Today Ah my face feel like clay every time I try to grin 
And I think I might cry if I try to grin again 
Oh but I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away 

Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day 
Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me

I don't want to go out because I'm tired of the door I'm tired of everybody actin like it's wierded out 1954 It's just the year of the barfly. 
It's just the month of the roach 
Hold on to my shoulders, baby,

And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away
