Lyrics
Are You Trying to Be Funny?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let him spend all his money on you
Ease the guilt of the things he won't do
For he believes there's no such thing as greed
A yearly payment is all that you need
In poverty may your goodness prevail
While your vaulting ambitions fail
A rick man sticks in heaven's door
But you my love will live happy for ever more
So naturally he sends you no more than this
Lest he ruin your chance for eternal bliss
What d'you mean you need love not money?
You expect to live in a land of milk and honey
Let him send his money to you
Ease the guilt of the things he won't do
A rick man sticks in heaven's door
But you my love will live happy for ever more
So naturally he sends you no more than this
Lest he ruin your chance for eternal bliss
What d'you mean you need love not money?
You expect to live in a land of milk and honey
He can spare just a little to see you right
Even he has a conscience that cries at night
"May the bad things in life come in two's and not
three's"
Such a prayer works wonders for keeping the heart at ease
So naturally he sends you no more than this
Lest he ruin your chance for eternal bliss
What d'you mean you need love not money?
You expect to live in a land of milk and honey
Are you trying to be funny?
