| Lyrics: | 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.
I've seen it brighten up the eyes of a child
It even makes the Dali Lama
smile.
It's no relation tot he 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
or a moment of pleasure
Worth it every cent.
Coin or paper baby,
Silver or
gold.
All denominations, nouveau 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 no shaker full, just a few grains of salt.
You may get
by lookin' 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 spendin' money...
Long as you got a little
spendin' money... |
