Don't Take My Money Lyrics

If I had a million or two

How happy I would be

I'd buy a big red car

And fill it full of gasoline

And blow it up

I'd fly real low over India

And look down from the plane

And say, Me oh my

Isn't it a shame

Please don't take my money

I haven't got much and I need it all

I'm an old man now and I can take it with me

Who says I can't? I can take it y'all

People stop trying to take my money away

If I had a million or two, wouldn't want no more

I'd put it all in my pocket and stand in front of the store

Bumming cigarettes with my coat flapping in the breeze

Wouldn't bother to shave or shampoo, and

If people didn't like it, you know what they could do

I'd watch TV 'til my eyeballs were sore

I'd live in a shack and pretend I was poor

Please don't take my money

I haven't got much and I need it all

I'm an old man now and I can take it with me

Who says I can't? I can take it y'all

People stop trying to take my money away

If I had a billion or so, wouldn't want no more

I'd give it all to the poor

No I wouldn't—I'd keep it locked up tight

In an underground vault and roll in it all night

I'd line that sucker five feet thick with gold

No one could see through that, not even the Lord

Wouldn't spend it on a luxury car

Wouldn't buy no caviar

Wouldn't spend it on women or cocaine

Wouldn't buy no boat or no airplane

Wouldn't need no presents or cake

Wouldn't have no reason to celebrate

I'd just think about what I could do

Like give it to sick kids and build an institute

Wear a black T-shirt and be the boss

Give it to the homeless cats and dogs

Talk to the Devil, the President too

Walk with the immortals in a pair of rubber shoes

Have all the pretty girls I want for free

Be a pillar of my community

I could get to know my soul

Write a major motion picture and star in every role

I'd call every man a brother

My lawyers would only sue each other

Please don't take my money away

I haven't got much and I need it all

I'm an old man now and I can take it with me

Who says I can't? I can take it y'all

People stop trying to take my money away
