[Verse 1]
I've been laid off from work, my rent is due
My kids all need brand new shoes
So I went to the bank to see what they could do
They said son looks like bad luck
Gotta hold on you

[Chorus]
Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an unemployment extension
Money's too tight to mention

[Verse 2]
I went to my brother to see what he could do
He said, "Brother like to help you but I'm unable to"
So I called on my father
"Father, oh, my father"
He said

[Chorus]
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money, money, money, money
Money's too tight to mention
I can't even qualify for my pension

[Verse 3]
We talk about Reaganomics
Oh lord down in the congress
They're passing all kinds of bills
From down on Capitol Hill, we've tried them
[Chorus]
Money's too tight to mention (Cut-back!)
Oh money, money, money, money, money

[Bridge]
We're talkin' about money, money
We're talking about money, money
We're talkin' about money, money
We're talkin' about money, money
We're talkin' about money, money
We're talkin' about money, money
We're talkin' about money, money
Money, money, money, money

[Verse 4]
We're talkin' 'bout the dollar bill
And that old man that's over the hill
Now what are we all to do
When the money's got a hold on you?

[Chorus]
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money, money, money, money
Money's too tight to mention
Dinero, money, oh yeah
[Outro]
I'm talkin' about money, money
I'm talkin' about money, money
I'm talkin' about money, money
I'm talkin' about money, money
Eh, I'm talkin' money
I'm talkin' about Ronnie, Ronnie
I'm talkin' about Ronnie, Ronnie
I'm talkin' about Ronnie, Ronnie
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Did the earth move for you, Nancy?
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking, Nancy
Yeah, I'm talking bout it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I want some money, money, money
Read my heaven, oh my
The sight of all that money
