Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've 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 Gotta hold on you [Chorus] Money's too tight to mention I can't get an unemployment extension Money's too tight to mention [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] We talk about reaganonics Oh lord down in the congress They're passing all kinds of bills From down capitol hill, we've tried them [Chorus] Money's too tight to mention (cut-back!) Money, money, money, money [Bridge] We're talkin' about money money (x6) Money, money, 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? [Chorus] Money's too tight to mention Oh money, money, money, money Money's too tight to mention Dinero, money, oh yeah [Outro] I'm talkin' about money, money (x4) Eh, I'm talkin' money I'm talkin' about running, running (x3) Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
