Lyrics Times Are Getting' Tougher Than Tough - Jimmy Witherspoon

Times Are Getting' Tougher Than Tough

Well, money’s getting cheaper, prices getting steeper
Found myself a woman, but I just couldn’t keep her
Time’s getting tougher than tough
Things getting rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs
I can’t afford to live, but I guess I’ll have to try
Undertakers got a union and it cost too much to die
Time’s getting tougher than tough
Things getting rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs
Well, politicians are telling folks to cut out on their meat
Why don’t they cut the prices and let the people eat?
Time’s getting tougher than tough
Things getting rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs
I can’t afford to live, but I guess I’ll have to try
Undertakers got a union and it cost too much to die
Time’s getting tougher than tough
Things getting rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs
