spending money

Singer:buffett, jimmy

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.
