JIMMY BUFFETT lyrics : "Spending Money"

Now I'm not talking 'bout excessive greed.
The kind that puzzled the scribes and Pharisees.
I don't worship it like a golden calf,

But change in my pocket is always good for a laugh.

I've seen it brighten up the eyes of a child

It even makes the Dali Lama smile.
It's no relation tot he meaning of life,
It's a dang fool husband doesn't spring for his wife.


A little spending money.
Money to burn.

Money that you did not necessarily earn.
Rainy days seem to wind up sunny,
Long as you got a little spending money.


I got no financial conscience.
Can't worry where it went.

A lasting treasure or a moment of pleasure
Worth it every cent.


Coin or paper baby,
Silver or gold.
All denominations, nouveau or old.

Can't have a turkey without oyster dressing,
It's the root of all evil, the sum of your blessings.


Don't need no armored car or time locked vault,
Don't need no shaker full, just a few grains of salt.
You may get by lookin' good and being funny,

But life's a little less restrained.

With a little spending money.

Money to burn.
Money that you did not necessarily earn.
Rainy days seem to wind up sunny,

Long as you got a little spendin' money...
Long as you got a little spendin' money...
