Simply Red - Picture Book (Expanded Version)

Money's Too Tight (To Mention)

I've been laid off from work, my rent is due
My kids all need brand new shoes
So I went to the bank to see what they could do
They said, "Son, looks like bad luck got a hold on you"

Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an unemployment extension
Money's too tight to mention

I went to my brother, to see what he could do
He said, "Brother, like to help you, but I'm unable to"
So I called on my father, father
Oh, my father, he said

Money's too tight to mention
Oh, money, money, money, money
Money's too tight to mention
I can't even qualify for my pension

We talk about reaganomics
Oh Lord, down in the congress
They're passing all kinds of bills
From down on Capitol Hill, we've tried them

Money's too tight to mention
Cut-backs
Money's too tight to mention
Oh, money, money, money, money

We're talkin' 'bout money, money (money)
We're talkin' 'bout money, money (money)
We're talkin' 'bout money, money (money)
We're talkin' 'bout money, money (money)

We're talkin' 'bout money, money (money)
We're talkin' 'bout money, money (money)
We're talkin' 'bout money, money, money, money

We're talkin' 'bout the dollar bill
And that ol' man that's over the hill
Now what are we all to do
When the money's got a hold on you?

Money's too tight to mention
Oh,money, money, money, money
Money's too tight to mention
Amero money, oh yeah

I'm talkin' 'bout money money
I'm talkin' 'bout money money
I'm talkin' 'bout money money
I'm talkin' 'bout money money

Eh, I'm talkin' money
I'm talkin' about Ronnie, Ronnie
I'm talkin' about Ronnie, Ronnie
I'm talkin' about Ronnie, Ronnie

Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?

Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy (too tight, too tight)
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy (too tight, too tight)
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy (too tight, too tight)
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy (too tight to mention)

Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout it

Yeah, yeah, yeah (too tight, too tight, too tight, too tight)
Oh (too tight, too tight, too tight, too tight to mention)
Hey, I want some money, money, money
Hey (too tight, too tight, too tight, too tight)
Oh (too tight, too tight, too tight, too tight to mention)
Read my heavens, oh my
The sight of all that money
