Ain't got no money at all
And it sure ain't funny
Don't have no Eldorado
Don't even have a car
Traveling around by foot yall
Don't get you very far
I don't have no diamond ring
Or a watch made of gold
Once had a color TV
But the damn thing got stole
Chump change
That'a all I ever get
Chump change
I ain't got none to give
Work hard all day
But I can't save a dime
Tried to catch the lottery
To have a real good time
If I could get some C notes
I'd roll them in my fist
I'd go around the world
And buy the things I missed
Chump change
That'a all I ever get
Chump change
I ain't got none to give
Who's knocking at the door now
Hope its not one of them bill collectors
I ain't got no money
Let me take a peek and see who it is
Ain't got no money at all
And it sure ain't funny
Wait a minute, hold up stop
I want to tell you something
Chump change is all I have left after I paid the bills last week
Yeah (?)
The city tax, the street tax, the federal tax, the state tax
And the tax on my gas I use at home
Cause I ain't got no car
Had to pay the light bill too
Now you thinking
Had to pay the phone bill
Had to pay the child support
You know what I had left after I paid all that?
(Chump change)
Chump change!
