New Orleans-Land of 1000 Dances-Money

歌詞

Ain't it funny How you spend that money When you think it's comin' in for free When you got no reason To believe you're easin' Down the road to poverty You're sittin' back in your rockin' chair Livin' is high And you ain't go a care But the wall's gonna fall When they pull that big green rug From underneath you feet Penny saved is penny earned I remember from my younger days But I ain't never met a man Who had bucks to burn Who wasn't lookin' for his next big raise The more you make the more you spend If you've got that much I'll let you be my friend But some people you meet Are gonna wind up cheatin' So you better watch them behave Money, ain't it funny When you're rich it's at your feet (But) it ain't funny When you go no money And there's nothin' left to eat Well the moral to this story Is that money ain't glory So don't bite off more than you can chew Well you can go where you want Do what you please It's gonna buy you some problems, too never a beggar nor a lender be If you take my advice You won't wind up like me Lord, it sure is funny How I blew that money when the figure goes down Don't you feel like a dummy I'm a wise hold fool With a shrunken tummy I'm a broke as I can be Money, ain't it funny When you're rich it's at your feet (But) it ain't funny When you go no money And there's nothin' left to eat Hey hey hey money, sweet as honey, yeah Rotten as spoiled meat But honey, when you got no money Nothin' else tastes sweet
