Ain’t No Bread In The Breadbox (Live at Madison Square Garden, NYC, November 15, 1991)

Lyrics

[Chorus] There ain't no bread in the breadbox 'Cause we ain't got no dough And it seems like we ain't got enough time To go foolin' around no more I've been working so hard for oh so long What've you got to show? Open up your eyes, little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes, little darling Don't wanna live here no more Open up your eyes, little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes, little darling It's time to move along [Verse 1] Late in December On a cold winter day I'd just finished bringing wood into the kitchen And I heard my Amanda say She said, "Elijah, you better look around Things ain't like they used to be Times getting hard for you and me Come on, daddy, it's time to shake things down" [Chorus] There ain't no bread in the breadbox 'Cause we ain't got no dough And it's seems like we ain't got enough time To go foolin' around no more I've been working so hard for oh so long What've you got to show? Open up your eyes, little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes, little darling Don't wanna live here no more Open up your eyes, little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes, little darling It's time to move along [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] There ain't no bread in the breadbox 'Cause we ain't got no dough And it's seems like we ain't got enough time To go foolin' around no more I've been working so hard for oh so long What've you got to show? Open up your eyes, little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes, little darling Don't wanna live here no more Open up your eyes, little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes, little darling It's time to move along [Verse 2] Late in December On a cold winter day I'd just finished bringing wood into the kitchen And I heard my Amanda say She said, "Elijah, you better look around Things ain't like they used to be Times getting hard for you and me Come on, daddy, it's time to shake things down" [Chorus] There ain't no bread in the breadbox 'Cause we ain't got no dough And it's seems like we ain't got enough time To go foolin' around no more I've been working so hard for oh so long What've you got to show? Open up your eyes, little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes, little darling Don't wanna live here no more Open up your eyes, little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes, little darling It's time to move along [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] There ain't no bread in the breadbox 'Cause we ain't got no dough And it's seems like we ain't got enough time To go foolin' around no more I've been working so hard for oh so long What've you got to show? Open up your eyes, little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes, little darling Don't wanna live here no more Open up your eyes, little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes, little darling It's time to move along [Outro] Ain't no bread in the breadbox 'Cause we ain't got no dough And it's seems like we ain't got enough time To go foolin' around no more I've been working so hard for oh so long What've you got to show? Open up your eyes, little darling Let's pack up your things and go Open up your eyes, little darling Don't wanna live here no more Open up your eyes, little darling Been here for far too long Open up your eyes, little darling It's time to move along
