D A4* E7*
And before you leave this world
G9 A4* D
You got to paaaaaay the man


Of the senators in the fancy houses
He`s a friend of Babylon
Got a wife and a dog and a cadillac
And people hung around
Got his ways and means and all he needs
To keep him satisfied
But before he leaves this world
He`s got to pay the man

Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man
Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man

Sally had a baby
It almost drove her crazy
When she dropped her into the river
Now Sally she`s a happy girl
And you see her on a corner
She`s doing all the best she can
And she whispers to you ?????
You got to pay the man

Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man
Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man

Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man
Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man

A capella

Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man

Pay the man
Everybody`s got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay the man
