It's Only Money

Grandpa used to keep his money

Buried three foot deep in mason jars

He forgot more times than not

Where he left it stashed out in the yard

He told us before he died

?Boys, don?t do what I did

Save enough to get you by

And go spend all the rest?

It?s only money, that?s all it is

Harder to make it than it is to spend

Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya

It?s only money, yeah

The waiter said, ?Our featured wine

Tonight?s a California Merlot

May I suggest the calamari

Oysters or the escargot??

She looked at me and smiled

And in those blue eyes I got lost

I said bring us one of each of them

I don?t care what it costs

It?s only money, that?s all it is

Harder to make it than it is to spend

Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya

It?s only money, oh, it?s only money

She found that diamond bracelet

In the window of a jewelry store downtown, oh, no

She said I like the way it sparkles

As she kissed me and I pulled my wallet out, yes, I did

If it makes her happy

I don?t care how much they charge

I still got a closet full of grandpa?s mason jars

It?s only money, that?s all it is

Harder to make it than it is to spend

Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya

It?s only money

Oh, it?s only money, that?s all it is

Harder to make it than it is to spend

Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya

It?s only money, money, money, money

Oh, it?s only money

It?s only money

It?s only money

It?s only money, oh, it?s only money
