Show Me the Money
OK!! Love is good, love is good,
But hey, will it buy me food,
For bread with love can I pay,
And my bills and taxes too, I say?
For love, much I will toil
And burn the midnight oil,
If love be the legal tender
I'll work as a love peddler.
For my kids' room and board
And for the gas on the road
Love would be the way to pay,
So stash love for the rainy day.
Say, O say until love do reign
Am I merely dabbling in vain?
"You are dreaming again honey"
Taunts wife, "Show me the money!"
