Jimmy Witherspoon

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
