Big Money

[00:06.39][00:00.49]

My older brother Tommy

was a lineman rest his soul

His job was hanging hot wires

on them high-line power poles

Every morning bright and early

he＇d climb way up in the sky

And I never understood it

so one day I asked him why

[00:31.15]He said it pays big money

[00:33.98]and man I＇m into that

[00:37.34]It pays big money

[00:40.01]if you＇re willing to take a chance

[00:43.24]Let me tell you something sonny,

[00:46.12]you ought to see my bank account

[00:49.14]It pays big money

[00:52.08]but he sure can＇t spend it now

[00:55.70]

Well, my late Uncle Charlie

was this demolition hound

He＇d travel across the country

blowing buildings to the ground

He carried a case of dynamite

seemed everywhere he went

He smoked them big long cigars

and he＇d wink at you and grin

[01:23.55][01:48.40]

Well now the moral of this story boys,

is don＇t go getting yourself killed

Be kind to your rich relatives

they just might put you in their will

That pays big money

and we＇re all into that

It pays big money

and big money＇s where it＇s at

Let me tell you something sonny,

you ought to see my bank account

It pays big money

and we＇re rolling in it now

It pays big money

having foolish kin

It pays big money

guess I owe it all to them

Let me show you something sonny,

take a look at this bank account

It pays big money;

let＇s go spend some of it now
