Just As Poor As Before
My riches they are few
Just enough to make do
To get me from the cradle to Death's door
Though I struggle and I save
I'm an economic slave
And I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
You will never win they say
If you don't take a chance and play
I thought today as I walked out the door
So I played the lottery
But fortune did not smile on me
So I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
Reel
A big banker did suggest
That I try to invest
And pretty soon I would get my big score
But everything went bust
All my money turned to dust
So I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
My last ditch attempt would be
To stage a major robbery
Then get away fast to some foreign shore
But it all went wrong somehow
And I'm in the jailhouse now
And I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
Reel
Just enough to make do
To get me from the cradle to Death's door
Though I struggle and I save
I'm an economic slave
And I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
You will never win they say
If you don't take a chance and play
I thought today as I walked out the door
So I played the lottery
But fortune did not smile on me
So I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
Reel
A big banker did suggest
That I try to invest
And pretty soon I would get my big score
But everything went bust
All my money turned to dust
So I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
My last ditch attempt would be
To stage a major robbery
Then get away fast to some foreign shore
But it all went wrong somehow
And I'm in the jailhouse now
And I'm always just as poor as before
Just as poor as before
My money is no more
I'm always just as poor as before
I have prayed to God
To give me better odds
But I'm always just as poor as before
