Now I'm not talking 'bout excessive greed. 
The kind that puzzled the scribes and Pharisees.
I don't worship it like a golden calf,
But change in my pocket is always good for a laugh. 

I've seen it brighten up the eyes of a child
It even makes the Dali Lama smile.
It's no relation tot he meaning of life,
It's a dang fool husband doesn't spring for his wife. 
Chorus
A little spending money. 
Money to burn.
Money that you did not necessarily earn. 
Rainy days seem to wind up sunny, 
Long as you got a little spending money. 

I got no financial conscience.
Can't worry where it went. 
A lasting treasure or a moment of pleasure
Worth it every cent. 

Coin or paper baby, 
Silver or gold.
All denominations, nouveau or old. 
Can't have a turkey without oyster dressing,
It's the root of all evil, the sum of your blessings. 

Don't need no armored car or time locked vault,
Don't need no shaker full, just a few grains of salt.
You may get by lookin' good and being funny,
But life's a little less restrained. 
Chorus
With a little spending money.
Money to burn. 
Money that you did not necessarily earn. 
Rainy days seem to wind up sunny, 
Long as you got a little spendin' money...
Long as you got a little spendin' money...
