Lyrics Money's Too Tight (To Mention) - Simply Red

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 got a hold on you"

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

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

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

We talk about reaganomics
Oh Lord down in the congress
They're passing all kinds of bills
From down Capitol hill (we've tried them)

Money's too tight to mention
Cut-backs!
Money's too tight to mention
Oh, money money 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
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' about money money
We're talkin' 'bout the dollar bill
And that ol' man that's over the hill
Now what are we all to do
When the money's got a hold on you?
Money's too tight to mention
Oh money money money money
Money's too tight to mention
Amero money oh yeah
I'm talkin' about money money
I'm talkin' about money money
I'm talkin' about money money
I'm talkin' about money money
