lyrics

What Good Is Money
(words and music by Sam Pointer)

I got a nickel if you got a dime
We can get together and have a good time
Get out your money, spread it around
‘Cause what good is money if you don’t lay it down

What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down

Rich man worried ‘bout income tax
So much money that he can’t relax
Me, I worry when I’m in the black
It burns a hole in my pocket

I got a nickel if you got a dime
We can get together and have a good time
Get out your money, spread it around
‘Cause what good is money if you don’t lay it down

What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down

I don’t worry ‘bout saving dough
Broke my piggy bank years ago
There’s no telling how much I owe
It burns a hole in my pocket

I got a nickel if you got a dime
We can get together and have a good time
Get out your money, spread it around
‘Cause what good is money if you don’t lay it down

What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down

Don’t you worry ‘bout limited means
Friday‘s coming and the eagle screams
What you need is something long and green
It burns a hole in my pocket

I got a nickel if you got a dime
We can get together and have a good time
Get out your money, spread it around
‘Cause what good is money if you don’t lay it down

What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down

What good is money, what good is money now
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money if you don’t lay it down now
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money, money, money, money, money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
What good is money
What good is money if you don’t lay it down
