  Well,  money's gettin' cheaper, prices
  gettin' steeper
  Found  myself a woman but I just  coundn't
  keep her
  Times  gettin' tougher than tough
  Things  gettin' rougher than rough
  I make  a lot of money, I just  keep spendin'
  The Stuff
  Well, pork  chops on the market,
  ask the butcher  for a pound
  Couldn't  buy a pork chop
  when I laid  my money down
  Times  gettin' tougher than tough
  Things  gettin' rougher than rough
  I make  a lot of money, just  keep spendin'
  the stuff
  Well, politicians  are tellin' folks
  to cut  out on their meat
  Why don't  they cut the price an' let  the
  people eat?
  Times  gettin' tougher than tough
  Things  gettin' rougher than rough
  I make  a lot of money, I just  keep spendin'
  the stuff
  Well, I can't  afford to live, I guess  I'll have
  to try
  Undertaker's  got a union, and it costs  to
  much to die
  Times  gettin' tougher than tough
  Things  gettin' rougher than rough
  I make  a lot of money, I just  keep spendin'
  the stuff
