Spending Money

By: jimmy buffett and mac mcanally



(whistling)

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



Seen it brighten up the eyes of a child

It even makes the dalai lama smile

It's no relation to the 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 a moment of pleasure

Worth in every cent



Coin or paper, silver or gold

All denominations nouveaux 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 a shaker full, just a few grains of salt

You may get by looking 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 spending money

Long as you got a little spending money

Oh give me some spending money
