Intro : (3x)   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 unemployment extension. Money's too tight to mention.       I went to my brother to see what he could do, he said, "Brother, I'd like to help you, but I'm unable to." So called on my father, father, almighty father,  he said : Money's too tight to mention, oh, money, money, money, money. Money's too tight to mention, I can't even qualify for my pension.   We're talking 'bout Reaganomics, oh, Lord, down in the Congress, they're passing all kinds of bills, from up there on Capitol Hill, we've tried it.
