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
[Chorus:]
Money´s too tight to mention
I can´t get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion
Money´s too tight to mention
I went to my brother
To see what he could do -
He said bro-ther like to help you
But I´m unable to
So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther
Oh my fa-ther
He said
[Chorus:]
Money´s too tight to mention
Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
Mo-ney´s too tight to mention
I can´t even qual-i-fy for my pension
We talk a-bout rea-gan-on-ics
Oh lord down in the con-gress
They´re passing all kinds - of bills
From down cap-it-ol hill - (we´ve tried them)
[Chorus:]
Money´s too tight to mention
[spoken] cut-back!
Mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
We´re talk-in´ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We´re talk-in´ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We´re talk-in´ ´bout the dollar bill
Now what are we all to do
When the mon-ey´s got a hold on you?
Mo-ney´s too tight to mention
Oh mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey
Mo-ney´s too tight to mention
A-mero - mon-ey oh yeah
We´re talk-in´ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We´re talk-in´ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We´re talk-in´ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We´re talk-in´ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey:..
