Everybody asks me to explain myself, and please make it perfectly plain So I answer, tra la la la la la la la, it ain't about profit or gain If my money was a work of art, I would've wiped it off onto my smock I get paid at half past nine, and it's gone by ten o'clock I borrow pennies from Peter to pay Paul, from Jimmy to pay the bill Sometimes I think I'd rather live in my car than visit Nowheresville So I say tra la la la, tra la la la, it ain't about fortune or fame Everybody asks me to explain myself, and please make it perfectly plain So I answer, tra la la la la la la la, it ain't about profit or gain If my money was a work of art, I would've wiped it off onto my smock I get paid at half past nine, and it's gone by ten o'clock I borrow pennies from Peter to pay Paul, from Jimmy to pay the bill Sometimes I think I'd rather live in my car than visit Nowheresville Brothers and sisters follow this rule and never ask why On Friday collect your paycheck and find someplace to die Oh brother, bury me not without my money 'Cause I know you wouldn't tell a joke without the funny See the brother walkin' in his shiny velvet tux He went and sold his mother for a half a zillion bucks Everywhere it's just the same It ain't about profit or gain Oh my children, never listen to words of the man who hangs out in the woods He'll try to tell you that love is the way and that your pennies are no good He'll try to tell you that his heart is so strong that nothing can ever stop it So bring him to me and I'll teach him how to sell that, too, and even make a profit Everybody asks me to explain myself, and please make it perfectly plain How can you exist without a new car, new house, new buttons on your blouse You must be on drugs or insane So I answer, tra la la la la la la la, it ain't about profit or gain It ain't about fortune or fame
