Lyrics

Well, money's gettin' cheaper

Prices gettin' steeper

Found myself a woman

But I just couldn't keep her

Times gettin' tougher than tough

Things gettin' rougher than rough

I make a lot of money

I just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, pork chops on the market

Ask the butcher for a pound

Couldn't buy a pork chop

When I laid my money down

Times gettin' tougher than tough

Things gettin' rougher than rough

I make a lot of money

Just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, politicians are tellin' folks

To cut out on their meat

Why don't they cut the price

And let the people eat?

Times gettin' tougher than tough

Things gettin' rougher than rough

I make a lot of money

I just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, I can't afford to live

I guess I'll have to try

Undertaker's got a union

And it costs too much to die

Times gettin' tougher than tough

Things gettin' rougher than rough

I make a lot of money

I just keep spendin' the stuff
