Money’s Too Tight (to Mention) Songtext
von Simply Red

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
Got-a hold on you

Money′s too tight to mention
I can't get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion
Money′s too tight to mention

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


Money's too tight to mention
Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
Mo-ney′s too tight to mention
I can′t even qual-i-fy for my pension

We talk a-bout rea-gan-om-ics
Oh lord down in the con-gress
They're passing all kinds - of bills
From down cap-it-ol hill - (we′ve tried them)


Money's too tight to mention
[spoken] cut-backs!
Mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
We′re talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We′re talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in′ ′bout the dollar bill
And that ol' man that′s over the hill
Now what are we all to do
When the mon-ey's got a hold on you?
Mo-ney′s too tight to mention
Oh mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
A-mero - mon-ey oh yeah
We′re talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in′ a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We′re talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We′re talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
