Money by Songtext

von Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera

When there's no work here
You won't be so sure of yourself
Open up your eyes
Look around you, can't you see baby
We ain't got no world

Don't be so surprised
The people here they try
To put their money by

Drifting like the snow
You make your bed
In the eyes of a junk-hill
But it's different here
You're lonely they all know
Maybe that's as well

Don't be so surprised
The women here they try
To put their money by

Don't look so surprised
The people here they try
To put their money by

Don't look so surprised
The people here they try
To put their money by

You ask me where it's at
Looks like you think of home
And maybe want to stay
But help Old Tom
Yesterday he was sick and tired
And you gave him all your pay

Don't be so surprised
The people here realize
You put their money by

Put your money by
Put your money by
Put your money by
Put your money by
Put your money by
Put your money by
Put your money by
Put your money by
