Simply Red - Money's Too Tight To Mention

 

I 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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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 reaganonics
Oh lord down in the congress
They?re passing all kinds of bills
From down capitol hill (We?ve tried them)

Chorus:
Money?s too tight to men­tion
(Spoken) cut-back!
Money money money money
We?re talkin? about money money
We?re talkin? about money money

We?re talkin? ?bout the dol­lar bill

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
A mero money oh yeah

We?re talkin? about money money
We?re talkin? about money money
We?re talkin? about money money
