Spending Money

歌詞

by: Jimmy Buffett and Mac McAnally (whistling) Now I'm not talking 'bout excessive greed The kind that puzzled the scribes and pharisees I don't worship it like a golden calf But change in my pocket is always good for a laugh Seen it brighten up the eyes of a child It even makes the Dalai Lama smile It's no relation to the meaning of life It's a dang fool husband doesn't spring for his wife A little spending money money to burn money that you did not necessarily earn Rainy days seem to wind up sunny Long as you got a little spending money I got no financial conscience Can't worry where it went A lasting treasure a moment of pleasure worth in every cent Coin or paper, silver or gold All Denominations nouveaux or old Can't have a turkey without oyster dressing It's the root of all evil the sum of your blessings Don't need no armored car or time-locked vault Don't need a shaker full, just a few grains of salt You may get by looking good and being funny But life's a little less restrained with a little Spending money money to burn money that you did not necessarily earn rainy days seem to wind up sunny long as you got a little spending money long as you got a little spending money oh give me some spending money
