All right
Here it comes


Well I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
Uh-huh

Well if you ask me how you made it
Secure life, baby, you should
Oh, yes you should

Cause if you're doing all the best that you can
But you're still runnin' just as fast as the man says
Well I can tell you for the money

The simple life honey is good
Uh-huh, now
Yes it's good


Now when you're movin' to the city
You worry on your mental health

Yes you do, now
Oh, you gentlemen and ladies
You've got to be good to yourself

Mm-hmm
So get yourself into a ranch-style home
When the neighbor's never more than a stone's throw

Well I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
Yes it is

Yes it's good

That's right

Yeah

But oh, no

All the money
Still you just can't please everybody
How bad do

Do you want it?
Cause the money
It looks so good, good, good



Ohh


Yeah
Whoo!

Yeah

So now you're chasin' the American dream

Just like the dollar's gonna make everybody scream
But I can tell you for the money
The simple life sure looks good

That's right, now
Yes it's good
Oh yeah


Oh, no
All the money

Looks so good, good, good
To everybody
How bad do

Do you want it?
Cause the money
It looks so good, good, good


Now there's a whole lot of faking
And takin'

And shakin' my hand
And when they tell you they love ya
They love ya like a one night stand

Mm-hmm
So if you're playin' in a rock and roll band
But still you're doing whatever the man says

Well I can tell you for the money
The simple life honey is good
That's right

Yes it's good

Uh-huh
Take care
