Gimme The Money
Timothy B. Schmit · Other Songs - Timothy B. Schmit
Shuck and jive
Keeping up and image
Trying not to let it show
Talking this
Talking that
Talking what they're given
I've taken all I
Need to know
Just gimme the money
Gimme the dough
Gimme the money
Money's all I want to know
Current times
Welfare lines
Making just a little
Things are getting
Mighty rough
Up and down
Jerked around
Always in the middle
I think it's time to
Call your bluff
Just gimme the money
Gimme the dough
Gimme the money
Money's all I want to know
You keep making it hard
I should be taking it easy
I could be taking it easy
I need to make a withdrawal
First degree
Prophecy
A fighting education
Ticket to the human race
Up in arms
Sound alarms
Senates on vacation
I know just how to
Solve the case
You keep making it hard
I should be taking it easy
I could be taking it easy
I need to make a withdrawal
Money money
All I need to know
Money money
All I want to know
Money money
All I need
