    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

        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!

    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

    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
