I been laid off from work
My rent is due
My kids all need
Brand new shoes

So I went to the bank
To see what they could do
They said son – looks like bad luck
Gota hold on you

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an unemployment extension
Money's too tight to mention

I went to my brother
To see what he could do –
He said brother like to help you
But I'm unable to
So I called on my father father
Oh my father
He said

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money money money money
Money's too tight to mention
I can't even qualify for my pension

We talk about reaganonics
Oh lord down in the congress
They're passing all kinds – of bills
From down capitol hill – (we've tried them)

Chorus:
Money's too tight to mention
(spoken) cutback!
Money money money money
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' 'bout the dollar bill
Now what are we all to do
When the money's got a hold on you?
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money money money money
Money's too tight to mention
Amero – money oh yeah
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' about money money…
