All right, here it comes



Well I can tell you for the money

The simple life honey is good

Well if you ask me how you made it

Secure life, baby, you should

Oh, yes you should

Cause if you're doing all the best that you can

But you're still runnin' just as fast as the man says

Well I can tell you for the money

The simple life honey is good, now

Yes it's good



Now when you're movin' to the city

You worry on your mental health

Yes you do, now

Oh, you gentlemen and ladies

You've got to be good to yourself

So get yourself into a ranch-style home

When the neighbor's never more than a stone's throw

Well I can tell you for the money

The simple life honey is good

Yes it is

Yes it's good

That's right

Yeah

But oh, no

All the money

Still you just can't please everybody

How bad do

Do you want it?

Cause the money

It looks so good, good, good

Ohh



Yeah

So now you're chasin' the American dream

Just like the dollar's gonna make everybody scream

But I can tell you for the money

The simple life sure looks good

That's right, now

Yes it's good

Oh yeah



Oh, no

All the money

Looks so good, good, good

To everybody

How bad do

Do you want it?

Cause the money

It looks so good, good, good



Now there's a whole lot of faking

And takin'

And shakin' my hand

And when they tell you they love ya

They love ya like a one night stand

So if you're playin' in a rock and roll band

But still you're doing whatever the man says

Well I can tell you for the money

The simple life honey is good

That's right

Yes it's good



Take care
