Money
It's good to be cashed up now and then
But there are times I believe
I was happier when ...
I was so broke, but I didn't care
Used to joke 'bout goin' nowhere
I could survive on a string
It can be a curse
Can bring out your worst
I said MONEY won't make you
Happy but -
It sure don't make you sad
Too many people 'round here
Think they've got it made
Overfed, overrated and overpaid
Behaving like slaves to their own greed
Obsessed by material they don't need
I used to survive on a string
It can be a curse
Can bring out your worst
I said MONEY won't make you
Happy but -
It sure don't make you sad
Got a nice surprise in the post
The other day
To help me with some dues
I had to pay
With that Yuletide season comin'
Up soon - sing in a happier tune
I'm singin' "White Christmas"
Right along with Bing
It can be a curse
Can bring out your worst
I said MONEY won't make you
Happy but -
It sure don't make you sad
Won't make you sad
Won't make you sad
Won't make you sad
Won't make you sad
But there are times I believe
I was happier when ...
I was so broke, but I didn't care
Used to joke 'bout goin' nowhere
I could survive on a string
It can be a curse
Can bring out your worst
I said MONEY won't make you
Happy but -
It sure don't make you sad
Too many people 'round here
Think they've got it made
Overfed, overrated and overpaid
Behaving like slaves to their own greed
Obsessed by material they don't need
I used to survive on a string
It can be a curse
Can bring out your worst
I said MONEY won't make you
Happy but -
It sure don't make you sad
Got a nice surprise in the post
The other day
To help me with some dues
I had to pay
With that Yuletide season comin'
Up soon - sing in a happier tune
I'm singin' "White Christmas"
Right along with Bing
It can be a curse
Can bring out your worst
I said MONEY won't make you
Happy but -
It sure don't make you sad
Won't make you sad
Won't make you sad
Won't make you sad
Won't make you sad
