I've been laid off from work,
my rent is due
-
My kids all need
brand new shoes
-
So, I went to the bank
to see what they would do
-
They said, “Son,
looks like bad luck's
got a hold on you”
-
Money's too tight to mention
-
I can't get an
unemployment extension
-
Money's too tight to mention
-
I went to my brother
to see what he could do
-
He said, "Brother,
I'd like to help you,
but I'm unable to"
-
So, I called on the Father
-
"Father, all mighty Father"
-
He said...
-
Money's too tight to mention
-
Oh, money, money,
money, money
-
Money's too tight to mention
-
I can't even qualify for my pension
-
We're talkin' about
Reaganomics
-
Oh lord, in Senate
and the Congress
-
They're passing all kinds of bills
-
Up there on Capitol Hill,
now they're tellin' me
-
Money's too tight to mention
(Cut-back!)
-
Oh, money, money,
money, money
-
Money's too tight to mention
-
Dinero, money
-
I'm working 9 to 5,
five days a week
-
For 40 hours,
I'm on my feet
-
I don't make enough
to survive
-
I need just some
M-O-N-E-Y
-
They're talking 'bout
"We're in recession"
-
When they know the world
is in a depression
-
Now what are we all to do
-
When the economy's
got a hold on you?
-
Said, money's too tight to mention
-
Money's too tight
(too tight)
-
Oh money, oh money, oh
-
Money's too tight to mention
-
Money's too tight
(Can't get an
unemployment extension)
-
Money's too tight to mention
(Money's too tight)
