Money's Too Tight (to Mention) [the Cutback Mix] Lyrics - Simply Red

I 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 

Got-a hold on you 

Money's too tight to mention 

I can't get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion 

Money's too tight to mention

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I went to my brother 

To see what he could do 

He said bro-ther like to help you 

But I'm unable to 

So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther 

Oh my fa-ther 

He said 

Money's too tight to mention 

Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey 

Mo-ney's too tight to mention 

I can't even qual-i-fy for my pension 

We talk a-bout rea-gan-om-ics 

Oh lord down in the con-gress 

They're passing all kinds - of bills 

From down cap-it-ol hill - (we've tried them) 

Money's too tight to mention 

[spoken] cut-backs! 

Mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey 

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey 

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey 

We're talk-in' 'bout the dollar bill 

And that ol' man that's over the hill 

Now what are we all to do 

When the mon-ey's got a hold on you? 

Mo-ney's too tight to mention 

Oh mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey 

Mo-ney's too tight to mention 

A-mero - mon-ey oh yeah 

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey 

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey 

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey 

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
