Lyrics

Legal Tender
(Pattison)

Johnny the barber loved a lady named Sue
A runway model everything she has is new
Johnny worked overtime but she
She never went his way
?No way Johnny? that?s all she had to say
Then she left like a rocket ship
When she learned what he was paid
Poor old Johnny he never got laid

You need money a whole lotta money
Cause money makes the world go round
Ain?t it funny when you don?t have lots of money
Nobody wants you hanging around
But if you steer a straight course
And open up the right doors
Then you will find the source of joy
And that?s money of course

Susie the model loved billionaire Bob
A high class banker and a blue blood snob
Susie tried just as hard as she could
To make him want to go her way
?Okay Susie, let?s go ahead and play?
First he used her once or twice
And then he told her he was not her boy
Poor little Susie a thrown away toy

When you?ve money sweet green money
Nobody tries to push you around
And it?s sunny every day when you got money
That jingles with a magical sound
And if you?ve got enough cash
People always kiss your ass
And that?ll give you another reason
To treat ?em like trash

Bobby the banker he really loved his job
Counting his money such a greedy greedy slob
In fact he loved it all so much
He took it with him to his grave
Oh no Bobby man you?d better be brave
Well the worms ate up everything
That Bobby ever made
Bye bye Bobby yeah you finally got paid

When you love money holy money
It always seems to drag you down
And it?s funny when you?re swimming in money
How easy it is to drown
And then the worms crawl in
And the worms crawl out
In the end my friend that?s how things
Will always work out

Hail to thee we pray
We love you Legal Tender
We willingly obey
And totally surrender
Hail to thee we pray
All day long
