lyrics

i thought of the money. it was a laugh, a laugh, all right. shoving it away, all these days. into my outside breast-pocket for safe-keeping. so damned safe that i never found it myself. who would ever think to look in my breast-pocket? who ever kept anything in his breast-pocket but a handkerchief? and a handkerchief that was never used as that. i thought of the money. it was a laugh, a laugh, all right. shoving it away, all these days. all those bills stuffed in there so tight, that the change in the bottom didn't even clink or jingle. when i ran frantically about in search of money, an inspiration came to me. i sprang out of the bed, fished through my pockets for all the money i had left, every last cent, and ran with it into the living-room. i thought of the money. it was a laugh, a laugh, all right. shoving it away, all these days. i spread the bills on the table, fan-shaped, each of them showing. in the very middle i stacked up a pile of change in a neat little tower. i thought of the money. it was a laugh, a laugh, all right. shoving it away, all these days.
