people sure act funny
when the get a little money
yes they do y’all
sure act funny
when the get a little money
yes they do y’all
i knew you when you had to live in a hut
you made your livin’ by the cane you cut
now you’re livin’ on easy street
you passed me by you don’t wanna speak
people sure do holler
when they get hold to a dollar
yes they do y’all
sure do holler
when they get hold to a dollar
yes they do man
i knew you when you didn’t have no shoes
the whole family sang the lowdown blues
now you’re pretty like a jess and jack
your pockets are sold we ain’t get it back
people sure do squeal
when they get a dollar bill
yes they do man
sure do squeal
when they get a dollar bill
yes they do y’all
i knew you when you were my friend
i stuck to you through the thick and thin
you hit another then you put me down
i’m here to tell you chase to turn around
people sure act mean
when they get a massive queen
yes they do y’all
sure act mean
when they get a massive queen
yes they do man
i’d known you when you didn’t have a dime
we’ll be together all of the time
now i’m back to a millionair
you can be far more aware
people sure act funny
when the get a little money
yes they do y’all
sure act funny man
when they get some money
i don’t want you to have ’em
i’m gonna get out of this town and find you some money
what about you man
everybody sure act funny
when they get a little money
