Malvina Reynolds - Where Did My Money Go Lyrics

Just a penny, just a penny,
Just a penny more for milk and cheese,
Oh, yeh, just another penny on the gas bill, please,
Oh, yeh, a penny here, and a penny there,
And where did my money go?

Just a penny, just a penny,
Just one drop of blood you'll never feel,
Oh, yeh, a drop from your hand, a drop from your heel,
Oh, yeh, and pretty soon you rock and reel,
And where did my money go?

The pennies flow in a steady stream
Where the hog at the center lives on cream,
A million an hour, a billion a day,
A hundred million pay and pay,
And somehow their paychecks melt away,
And where did my money go?

Just a penny, just a penny,
Prices in the store go up and up,
Oh, yeh, who in the world can make them stop?
Oh, yeh, and my baby looks in her empty cup,
And where did my money go?
