Lyrics
Verse:
Another workin' week till payday
and I'm in the same ol' bind
No matter how hard I try to stay ahead
Seems I just keep fallin' behind
I took a look at my wallet
Man, what a sorry sight
I've seen skinny before
but this was more
than just al lack of appetite
Chorus:
I got Five Bucks till Friday
to stretch a hundred ways
And that leaves me a whole lotshort on cash
and a little too long on days
How am I gonna make it?
What am I gonna do?
I got (five) Five Bucks Till Friday
to see me through
Verse:
It's simple mathmatics
That's what it's all about
what I bring in has got to be more
than what I'm payin' out
So I make myself a promise
at the start of every week
It's a vow that I make, but always break
coz its impossible to keep
Chorus:
(repeat chorus)
Instrumental
How am I gonna make it ?
What am I gonna do?
I got (five) Five Bucks Till Friday
To see me through
Chorus:
I got Five Bucks Till Friday
to stretch a hundred ways
and that leaves me whole lot short on cash
and a little too long on days
I'm not gonna make it
What am I goin' to do?
I got (five) Five Bucks Till Friday
To see me through
(sing-a long chorus)
I got Five Bucks Till Friday
to stretch a hundred ways
And that leaves me a whole lot short on cash
And a little too long on days
I'm not gonna make it
That's why I'm callin' you
I got (five) Five Bucks Till Friday
Just to get through
Five Bucks till Friday
