Jimmy Witherspoon - Money's Gettin' Cheaper lyrics

rate me

Well, money's gettin' cheaper<br />

Prices gettin' steeper<br />

Found myself a woman<br />

But I just couldn't keep her<br />

<br />

Times gettin' tougher than tough<br />

Things gettin' rougher than rough<br />

I make a lot of money<br />

I just keep spendin' the stuff<br />

<br />

Well, pork chops on the market<br />

Ask the butcher for a pound<br />

Couldn't buy a pork chop<br />

When I laid my money down<br />

<br />

Times gettin' tougher than tough<br />

Things gettin' rougher than rough<br />

I make a lot of money<br />

Just keep spendin' the stuff<br />

<br />

Well, politicians are tellin' folks<br />

To cut out on their meat<br />

Why don't they cut the price<br />

And let the people eat?<br />

<br />

Times gettin' tougher than tough<br />

Things gettin' rougher than rough<br />

I make a lot of money<br />

I just keep spendin' the stuff<br />

<br />

Well, I can't afford to live<br />

I guess I'll have to try<br />

Undertaker's got a union<br />

And it costs too much to die<br />

<br />

Times gettin' tougher than tough<br />

Things gettin' rougher than rough<br />

I make a lot of money<br />

I just keep spendin' the stuff
