[Kid:]Dad, how come you or Mom can't pay for me to go on my band trip to the Rose Bowl Parade? Don't you make a ton of money?[Dad:]I don't know about that, but we do have a ton of expenses.[Kid:]Like what? Isn't there something here we can do without?[Dad:]We can stop buying groceriesBut that might be a mistakeBecause eating is a habit I'd be loath to try and breakWe can stop paying income taxBut they might send me to jailAnd if we don't pay the mortgageThen they'll take our houseThen where would we get our mail?If not for all these bills and taxesOur income would more than sufficeI feel like a real big cheeseUntil everybody takes a slice!Letras de cancionesI don't want to bore youWith my troubles or my woesStill you're old enough to know Where the money goesWe don't have to pay for furnitureIf you want to learn upholsteringWe don't really need to pay the phone billWe can use tin cans and a stringIt's bedtimeWe'd never have to pay to paint the houseIf we went off and lived in a caveAnd if you're planning on inheriting a million bucksThen there's really no need to save!We make a decent living, that's trueBut we have to pay these bills when they come duePlease observe this illustrationWhich irrefutably showsExactly how and where the money goes[Dad:]You know if you could help us cut down on some of these expenses, I bet we could save enough for you to go on that trip.[Kid:]What could I do?[Dad:]We could really lower the phone billIf you'd limit the length of your calls, byeYou could probably put some money in your savings bankIf you skip one trip to the mallWe'd spend a little less on electricityIf you turn off the light when you leaveAnd we could save a lot on our laundry billsIf you'd watch where you put your sleeve!You could bring a little in with a part time jobAll we ask is you do your bestIf you earn a little hereAnd save a little thereWe'll try to come up with the restWe can't stop the money from trickling outBut we can control how it flowsAnd we can start by being aware ofWhere the money goesWhere is my money?My money!It's gone From Letras Mania
