lyrics

I've got a buck and a quarter left to my name
To last me a week and a day
And this buck and a quarter I figure I oughta save
But whatever you want that is a buck and a quarter
Baby, won't you let me pay

It seems like all the more money I make
It's all the more my money goes
And where all my nickels and dimes are rollin' who knows?
But since I don't really care to follow my dollars
Let the record show

[Chorus]

I don't need money to make myself happy
But I wanna take you out on the town
And with a dollar twenty-five, I'm feelin so ashamed right about now
Just gimme eight days to find me some wages
And I will make you proud

Well I've got an empty billfold
Where I rest my weary mind
And if I had my way I would never need another dime

[Chorus]

That Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
I reckon it's the road to ride
But tonight I think the Staten Island Ferry's lookin' mighty kind
Yes, tonight I think that Staten Island Ferry
Is lookin' mighty kind

Because I've got an empty billfold
Where I rest my weary mind
And if I had my way I would never need another dime

But a buck for a week and a quarter for a day
And I figure I oughtta save
But whatever you want that is a buck and a quarter, baby
Yes, whatever you want that is a buck and a quarter
Won't you let me pay
