now i m not talking bout excessive greed the kind that puzzled the scribes and pharisees i don t worship it like a golden calf but change in my pocket is always good for a laugh seen it brighten up the eyes of a child it even makes the dalai lama smile it s no relation to the meaning of life it s a dang fool husband doesn t spring for his wife a little spending money money to burn money that you did not necessarily earn rainy days seem to wind up sunny long as you got a little spending money i got no financial conscience can t worry where it went a lasting treasure a moment of pleasure worth it every cent coin or paper baby silver or gold all denominations nouveaux or old can t have a turkey without oyster dressing it s the root of all evil the sum of your blessings don t need no armored car or time locked vault don t need no shaker full just a few grains of salt you may get by looking good and being funny but life s a little less restrained with a little spending money money to burn money that you did not necessarily earn rainy days seem to wind up sunny long as you got a little spending money  long as you got a little spending money oh give me some spending money
