Money's Too Tight (To Mention)
I 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 could do
They said "Son, looks like bad luck 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 but I'm unable to"
So I called on my father, father, oh my 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 talking 'bout Reaganomics
Oh Lord, down in the congress
They're passing all kinds of bills
From down on Capitol Hill,
We've tried it
Money's too tight to mention
Cutback!
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money money money money
We're talking 'bout money money
[7x]
Money, money, money, money!
We're talking 'bout the dollar bill
And that old man that's over the hill
Now what are we all to do
When money's got a hold on you?
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money, money, money, money
Money's too tight to mention
Dinero, money, oh
I'm talking about money, money
[4x]
Yeah, I'm talking about it
I'm talking about Ronnie, Ronnie
[3x]
Did the earth move for you Nancy?
[3x]
Yeah, I'm talkin', Nancy
[repeated, and fade out]
