Money's Gettin' Cheaper Songtext

von Jimmy Witherspoon

Well, money's gettin' cheaper
Prices gettin' steeper
Found myself a woman
But I just couldn't keep her

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, pork chops on the market
Ask the butcher for a pound
Couldn't buy a pork chop
When I laid my money down

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money
Just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, politicians are tellin' folks
To cut out on their meat
Why don't they cut the price
And let the people eat?

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, I can't afford to live
I guess I'll have to try
Undertaker's got a union
And it costs too much to die

Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money
I just keep spendin' the stuff
