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.

Chorus

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.

Chorus

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...
