Pretty soon I won't
Be worth anything

A hundred dollars was more than enough
To buy all my groceries and stuff
The bagboy doesn't stock it
For it fits in my pocket

More and More of a Bank Chore

Banks have been creating quite a chore,
Always giving out credit more and more;
Always did intend;
Extend and extend;
Created inflation making us become poor.
