Malvina Reynolds - Money Blues Lyrics

Some folks have lots of money, some haven't got a bean,
Some folks have lots of money, some haven't got a bean,
If you have no money, Baby, life can be awfully mean.

It's only bits of paper, it seems to come and go,
It's only bits of paper, it seems to come and go,
If the rent don't come in, Baby, you go right out the door.

When you've got money, Baby, people will buzz around,
When you've got money, Baby, people will buzz around,
When you're broke and busted, you are nowheres bound.

I'm a good girl, Papa, hold my head up high,
I'm a good girl, Papa, hold my head up high,
But what do I do when I see the money rolling by.

I worked for my living since I was two or three,
I worked for my living since I was two or three,
Worked for my living, somebody's working me.

I like to think of heaven, like the good book say,
I like to think of heaven, like the good book say,
If I don't think of money, I can't get through this day.

Well, some day I'll make it, fill that inside straight,
Well, some day I'll make it, fill that inside straight,
That's the day you'll see me walking through the pearly gate.
