Spending Money

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 Dalai Lama smile

It's no relation to the 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 (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 looking 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 spending money

Long as you got a little spending money

Oh, give me some, spending money
