spending money

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.
