i get money from you
to tickle your whim
or blow up your mind
then i give money to you
and you pay me back in kind
now i gave money to bill
he pays up my bills
and helps me make up my mind
and i give money to bill
and he will be on my side
then i gave money to joe
’cause bill said he knows
he’ll pay me back in time
and bill’s gettin’ paid to know
if anyone’s lyin’
4
now bill said to give it to hank
’cause hank owns a bank
and he can make it grow
now ain’t those amazin’ folks
that bill is lucky to know
5
somehow my finances will grow
with the interest i show
in the interest it gives me
and now a piece of paper from me
won’t seem half as flimsy
