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 like to help you
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 talk about Reagonics.
Oh Lord, down in the congress
They`re passing all kinds - of bills
>From down on Capital Hill - (we`ve tried them)
Money`s too tight to mention.
(spoken) Cut back!
Money, money, money, money.
We`re talkin` about money, money.
We`re talkin` about money, money.
We`re talkin` `bout the dollar bill
And that old man that`s over the hill.
Now what are we all to do
When the money`s got a hold on you?
Money`s too tight to mention.
Oh money, money, money, money.
Money`s too tight to mention.
Amero-money, oh yeah.
We`re talkin` about money, money.
We`re talkin` about money, money.
We`re talkin` about money, money.
We`re talkin` about money, money...
