Valentine Brothers - Money's Too Tight (To Mention) " 12" Soul-Disco-Funk 1982 "

  • 1:17 - 1:22
    I've been laid off from work,
    my rent is due
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    My kids all need
    brand new shoes
  • 1:26 - 1:30
    So, I went to the bank
    to see what they would do
  • 1:30 - 1:34
    They said, “Son,
    looks like bad luck's
    got a hold on you”
  • 1:34 - 1:38
    Money's too tight to mention
  • 1:38 - 1:43
    I can't get an
    unemployment extension
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    Money's too tight to mention
  • 1:52 - 1:57
    I went to my brother
    to see what he could do
  • 1:57 - 2:01
    He said, "Brother,
    I'd like to help you,
    but I'm unable to"
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    So, I called on the Father
  • 2:04 - 2:08
    "Father, all mighty Father"
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    He said...
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    Money's too tight to mention
  • 2:14 - 2:18
    Oh, money, money,
    money, money
  • 2:18 - 2:22
    Money's too tight to mention
  • 2:22 - 2:27
    I can't even qualify for my pension
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    We're talkin' about
    Reaganomics
  • 2:31 - 2:37
    Oh lord, in Senate
    and the Congress
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    They're passing all kinds of bills
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    Up there on Capitol Hill,
    now they're tellin' me
  • 2:45 - 2:49
    Money's too tight to mention
    (Cut-back!)
  • 2:49 - 2:54
    Oh, money, money,
    money, money
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    Money's too tight to mention
  • 2:57 - 3:02
    Dinero, money
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    I'm working 9 to 5,
    five days a week
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    For 40 hours,
    I'm on my feet
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    I don't make enough
    to survive
  • 3:16 - 3:21
    I need just some
    M-O-N-E-Y
  • 3:21 - 3:25
    They're talking 'bout
    "We're in recession"
  • 3:25 - 3:29
    When they know the world
    is in a depression
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    Now what are we all to do
  • 3:33 - 3:37
    When the economy's
    got a hold on you?
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    Said, money's too tight to mention
  • 3:40 - 3:43
    Money's too tight
    (too tight)
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    Oh money, oh money, oh
  • 3:47 - 3:49
    Money's too tight to mention
  • 3:49 - 3:56
    Money's too tight
    (Can't get an
    unemployment extension)
  • 3:56 - 4:04
    Money's too tight to mention
    (Money's too tight)
