1
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:21,721
I've been laid off from work,
my rent is due

2
00:01:21,721 --> 00:01:25,985
My kids all need 
brand new shoes

3
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:29,716
So, I went to the bank 
to see what they would do

4
00:01:29,716 --> 00:01:34,082
They said, “Son, 
looks like bad luck's 
got a hold on you”

5
00:01:34,082 --> 00:01:37,882
Money's too tight to mention

6
00:01:37,882 --> 00:01:42,915
I can't get an 
unemployment extension

7
00:01:42,915 --> 00:01:47,067
Money's too tight to mention

8
00:01:52,284 --> 00:01:56,525
I went to my brother 
to see what he could do

9
00:01:56,525 --> 00:02:00,836
He said, "Brother, 
I'd like to help you, 
but I'm unable to"

10
00:02:00,836 --> 00:02:03,602
So, I called on the Father

11
00:02:03,602 --> 00:02:07,785
"Father, all mighty Father"

12
00:02:07,785 --> 00:02:09,504
He said...

13
00:02:09,504 --> 00:02:14,337
Money's too tight to mention

14
00:02:14,337 --> 00:02:18,387
Oh, money, money, 
money, money

15
00:02:18,387 --> 00:02:21,915
Money's too tight to mention

16
00:02:21,915 --> 00:02:26,622
I can't even qualify for my pension

17
00:02:28,155 --> 00:02:31,389
We're talkin' about 
Reaganomics

18
00:02:31,389 --> 00:02:36,723
Oh lord, in Senate 
and the Congress

19
00:02:36,723 --> 00:02:40,856
They're passing all kinds of bills

20
00:02:40,856 --> 00:02:44,924
Up there on Capitol Hill, 
now they're tellin' me

21
00:02:44,924 --> 00:02:49,292
Money's too tight to mention 
(Cut-back!)

22
00:02:49,292 --> 00:02:53,741
Oh, money, money, 
money, money

23
00:02:53,741 --> 00:02:56,792
Money's too tight to mention

24
00:02:56,792 --> 00:03:01,525
Dinero, money

25
00:03:03,428 --> 00:03:05,925
I'm working 9 to 5, 
five days a week

26
00:03:05,925 --> 00:03:09,093
For 40 hours, 
I'm on my feet

27
00:03:11,543 --> 00:03:16,377
I don't make enough 
to survive

28
00:03:16,377 --> 00:03:21,328
I need just some 
M-O-N-E-Y

29
00:03:21,328 --> 00:03:24,829
They're talking 'bout 
"We're in recession"

30
00:03:24,829 --> 00:03:29,395
When they know the world 
is in a depression

31
00:03:29,395 --> 00:03:33,247
Now what are we all to do

32
00:03:33,247 --> 00:03:37,463
When the economy's 
got a hold on you?

33
00:03:37,463 --> 00:03:40,438
Said, money's too tight to mention

34
00:03:40,438 --> 00:03:42,536
Money's too tight
(too tight)

35
00:03:42,536 --> 00:03:44,864
Oh money, oh money, oh

36
00:03:46,887 --> 00:03:49,172
Money's too tight to mention

37
00:03:49,172 --> 00:03:55,650
Money's too tight 
(Can't get an 
unemployment extension)

38
00:03:55,650 --> 00:04:03,768
Money's too tight to mention 
(Money's too tight)
