Spending Money — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

By: jimmy buffett and mac mcanally



(whistling)

Now Im not talking bout excessive greed

The kind that puzzled the scribes and pharisees

I dont worship it like a golden calf

But change in my pocket is always good for a laugh



Seen it brighten up the eyes of a child

It even makes the dalai lama smile

Its no relation to the meaning of life

Its a dang fool husband doesnt 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

Cant worry where it went

A lasting treasure a moment of pleasure

Worth in every cent



Coin or paper, silver or gold

All denominations nouveaux or old

Cant have a turkey without oyster dressing

Its the root of all evil the sum of your blessings



Dont need no armored car or time-locked vault

Dont need a shaker full, just a few grains of salt

You may get by looking good and being funny

But lifes 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 spending money

Long as you got a little spending money

Oh give me some spending money
