What's In It For Me?
What's in it for me?
You don't get nothing for free
You stand and shake your tin
It gets under my skin
I might see what I can do
In another year or two
Let me see: what's in it for me?
'Cause you don't - don't get nothing free
Can you stop? you keep after me
But I'm not - not a charity
Now you're back again
Just like a long-lost friend
With your sorry tale of woe
But no one wants to know
Just give us a rest!
You're making me depressed
Gotta run, I'm a busy man
And I've done everything I can
But you keep stickin' out your hand
Pardon me, you're in disneyland
And I know you'll think it's strange
You, I know you'll think it's strange
But I don't have any change
So no change
I'll tell you for free:
Don't waste your breath on me
I've heard it all before
Philanthropy's a bore!
Charity!
What's in it for me?
You don't get nothing for free
You stand and shake your tin
It gets under my skin
I might see what I can do
In another year or two
Let me see: what's in it for me?
'Cause you don't - don't get nothing free
Can you stop? you keep after me
But I'm not - not a charity
Now you're back again
Just like a long-lost friend
With your sorry tale of woe
But no one wants to know
Just give us a rest!
You're making me depressed
Gotta run, I'm a busy man
And I've done everything I can
But you keep stickin' out your hand
Pardon me, you're in disneyland
And I know you'll think it's strange
You, I know you'll think it's strange
But I don't have any change
So no change
I'll tell you for free:
Don't waste your breath on me
I've heard it all before
Philanthropy's a bore!
Charity!
What's in it for me?
