It Pays Big Money |
My oldest brother Tommy |
Was a lineman rest his soul |
His job was hanging hot wires |
On them power company poles |
I said with all of that high voltage |
Don’t it scare you half to death? |
He said it makes me kinda nervous |
But I just can’t help myself |
It pays big money and boy I’m into that |
It pays big money if you’re willin' to take a chance |
I’ll tell you sonny, you ought to see my bank account |
It paid big money but he sure can’t spend it now |
My dear departed cousin |
Used to put in forty hours |
Changing all them light bulbs |
On them television towers |
Every morning bright and early |
He’d climb up in the sky |
And I didn’t understand it |
So one day I asked him why, he said |
It pays big money and boy I’m into that |
It pays big money if you’re willin' to take a chance |
I’ll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank account |
It paid big money but he sure can’t spend it now |
My late Uncle Charlie |
Was a demolition man |
And he traveled all over the country |
Blasting holes in this great land |
And he carried a case of dynamite |
Everywhere he went |
And he’d smoke them big long cigars |
'Til it got the best of him, but |
It pays big money and boy I’m into that |
It pays big money if you’re willin' to take a chance |
I’ll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank account |
It paid big money but he sure can’t spend it now |
Now the moral of this story |
Is don’t go getting' yourself killed |
Be kind to your rich relatives |
And they might just leave you in their will |
That pays big money having foolish kin |
It pays big money, I guess I owe it all to them |
I’ll tell you sonny you ought to see my bank account |
It pays big money think I’ll go spend some of it now… |
