Lyrics
Money Blues
By: Martina Cline

Verse 1: Everyday it's the same old thing.

Gotta get up at dawn.

Take my shower, brush my hair & try to beat the clock.

The Boss Man tells me, You gotta work or you won't get no pay.

But it seems he keeps wanting more & I ain't seen no raise.

Chorus: Gotta think about money,

So many bills to pay.

Gotta think about money,

And the Tax Man takes it away.

Verse 2: Now everyone wants a piece of me but I've got none to give,

Contribute to this charity or else they may not live,

I feel the pressure building in me, as they feed me the same ole line,

The guy on the corner walks up & says,
"Hey Lady can you spare a dime"?

Chorus: Oh, gotta think about money,

Everywhere I go,

Gotta think about money, money, money,

And I ain't got no dough,

Oh, it's getting me down.

Verse 3: Now I heard just the other day that you can have peace of mind,

All ya gotta do is consolidate & everything will be just fine,

Well mister, I don't believe a word of what you say is true

My Mama said for me not to trust in people like you.


Chorus: Gotta think about money,

So many bills to pay.

Gotta think about money,

And the Tax Man takes it all away.


End: I'm trying to stay on top,

Life is such a joke,

When is it gonna stop?

Cause all I am is broke,

I?ve got those money blues,

Got those money blues, Ooh, ooh, ooh.
