Simply Red-Money's Too Tight
Words and music John & William Valentine

I 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 un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion

I went to my brother
To see what he could do
He said bro-ther like to help you
But I'm unable to

So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther
Oh my fa-ther

what He said

Money's too tight to mention

that what he said to right now, yes it is Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey

We talk a-bout rea-gan-on-ics

Oh lord down in con-gressthe

They're passing all kinds - of bills

From down cap-it-ol hill
（we've tried them）
Money's too tight to mention

（spoken） cut-back!

Money's too tight to mention

Mo-ney mo-ney mon-eymo-ney

We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey

We're talk-in' 'bout the dollar bill

down From cap-it-ol hill

what are we all Now to do

When the mon-ey's got a hold on you?

Mo-ney's too tight to mention

Oh yes it is

Mo-ney's too tight to mention

We're talk-in' mon-ey mon-eya-bout
