    I owe...

    I owe...

    It's off to work I go...

    I gotta get paid,

    If I wanna get laid...

    I owe,

    Oh, how much I owe!

    I get that paid and laid rhyme, but it's sort of a stretch to connect getting laid to getting paid.

    I mean there are plenty of unemployed and unemployable people getting action.
    maybe like

    Burn the midnight oil

    So I don't eat soil

              Aesthetically, I don't like ABBB for "Roses are red...". ABCB is fine, ABBB feels too forceful. And the plurals just turn it into half rhymes anyway. How about :

              Roses are red

              I used to have dreams

              Work is a drag

              But I guess I have memes

                Roses are red

                Violets are blue

                I've given up

                How about you?

                  I’ve previously heard:

                  I owe, I owe, it’s off to jail I go
                  Don’t ever mess with the IRS
                  I owe! I owe, I owe, I owe!

                    I thought our work song was:

                    🎶"I owe, I owe, It's off to work I go!"🎶

                        Boss makes a dollar,

                        I make a dime.

                        That's why I doo-doo

                        on company time.

                          https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Fercris-Hart-1/Boss-Made-a-Dollar-I-Made-a-Dime

                          Boss made a dollar, I made a dime

                          That was a rhyme from a simpler time

                          Now boss makes a thousand and gives me a cent

                          When I′m an employee who can't pay my rent

                          When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

                          That′s when I protest and take my life back

                          Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

                          That's why I shit on company time

                          Boss makes a billion, my prospects are grim

                          Next company party, I'm gonna eat him

                          When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

                          That′s when we riot and take our lives back

                          We make a penny, the boss makes fifteen

                          Guess who′s in line for the guillotine

                          Boss made a dollar, we made a dime

                          Til' we went to his mansion and burned him alive

                            Roses are red

                            Democracy is a lie

                            Fascism is Liberalism, but when white people die
