00:01:17.429 --> 00:01:21.721
I've been laid off from work,
my rent is due

00:01:21.721 --> 00:01:25.985
My kids all need 
brand new shoes

00:01:25.985 --> 00:01:29.716
So, I went to the bank 
to see what they would do

00:01:29.716 --> 00:01:34.082
They said, “Son, 
looks like bad luck's 
got a hold on you”

00:01:34.082 --> 00:01:37.882
Money's too tight to mention

00:01:37.882 --> 00:01:42.915
I can't get an 
unemployment extension

00:01:42.915 --> 00:01:47.067
Money's too tight to mention

00:01:52.284 --> 00:01:56.525
I went to my brother 
to see what he could do

00:01:56.525 --> 00:02:00.836
He said, "Brother, 
I'd like to help you, 
but I'm unable to"

00:02:00.836 --> 00:02:03.602
So, I called on the Father

00:02:03.602 --> 00:02:07.785
"Father, all mighty Father"

00:02:07.785 --> 00:02:09.504
He said...

00:02:09.504 --> 00:02:14.337
Money's too tight to mention

00:02:14.337 --> 00:02:18.387
Oh, money, money, 
money, money

00:02:18.387 --> 00:02:21.915
Money's too tight to mention

00:02:21.915 --> 00:02:26.622
I can't even qualify for my pension

00:02:28.155 --> 00:02:31.389
We're talkin' about 
Reaganomics

00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:36.723
Oh lord, in Senate 
and the Congress

00:02:36.723 --> 00:02:40.856
They're passing all kinds of bills

00:02:40.856 --> 00:02:44.924
Up there on Capitol Hill, 
now they're tellin' me

00:02:44.924 --> 00:02:49.292
Money's too tight to mention 
(Cut-back!)

00:02:49.292 --> 00:02:53.741
Oh, money, money, 
money, money

00:02:53.741 --> 00:02:56.792
Money's too tight to mention

00:02:56.792 --> 00:03:01.525
Dinero, money

00:03:03.428 --> 00:03:05.925
I'm working 9 to 5, 
five days a week

00:03:05.925 --> 00:03:09.093
For 40 hours, 
I'm on my feet

00:03:11.543 --> 00:03:16.377
I don't make enough 
to survive

00:03:16.377 --> 00:03:21.328
I need just some 
M-O-N-E-Y

00:03:21.328 --> 00:03:24.829
They're talking 'bout 
"We're in recession"

00:03:24.829 --> 00:03:29.395
When they know the world 
is in a depression

00:03:29.395 --> 00:03:33.247
Now what are we all to do

00:03:33.247 --> 00:03:37.463
When the economy's 
got a hold on you?

00:03:37.463 --> 00:03:40.438
Said, money's too tight to mention

00:03:40.438 --> 00:03:42.536
Money's too tight
(too tight)

00:03:42.536 --> 00:03:44.864
Oh money, oh money, oh

00:03:46.887 --> 00:03:49.172
Money's too tight to mention

00:03:49.172 --> 00:03:55.650
Money's too tight 
(Can't get an 
unemployment extension)

00:03:55.650 --> 00:04:03.768
Money's too tight to mention 
(Money's too tight)
