Its Grand To Be Poor Again
cash was never king in my book
I was rarely in anyone's pocket
you were a cofirmed money spinner
more likely than not I'd mock it
its grand to be poor again
free of your money-mad clutches
some us put principle first
we'd rather live in hutches
nice maybe to have a big balance
endless cash on tap ready to burn
but Mammon exacts a heavy price
that treadmill never ceases to turn
its grand to be poor again
free of your money-mad clutches
some of us put principle first
we'd rather live in hutches
but winter is cold and I can't afford a coat
I'd give my right arm for a counterfeit note
its grand to be poor again
free of your money-mad clutches
some of us put principle first
we'd rather live in hutches

I can imagine a cynical Woody Guthrie singing this - or even a dryly
humorous Willy Nelson!
Having enough
To pay bills an' stuff
Is my idea of heaven
But when they come to be paid
From the money I've made
I'd prefer eleven dollars to seven! ?
