MONEY IN THE BANK
By Mighty Spoiler
My cousin died many years in Toco
And she leave a lot of money for Spoilo
My cousin died many years in Toco
And she leave a lot of money for Spoilo
Now people saying that I lousy
Saying that the Spoiler don't spend his money
But if they put the world in a pitch oil tin
I cannot even pay a cent to see the thing spin.
Chorus:
Just because I have my money in the bank since the age of nine
And them big shot put theirs on mine
I have to wait again just a couple years
In order to get out mine, they have to take off theirs.
Well. sometimes I wake in the morning
I know I have my money but is the getting
Run down the road and credit a taxi
I saying that I'm going and collect currency
Reach in the bank, if you see the cashier
From left to right she shaking she finger
“Go away, Mr Phillip, no sense you stop.
"Your money is about two feet six from the top.”
Chorus:
Just because I have my money in the bank since the age of nine
Oh, them big shot put theirs on mine
I have to wait again just a couple years
In order to get out mine, they have to take off theirs.
I pull so much strings, I pull cable wire
To see if they could move my money from the centre
Stand up by the bank sometime for a fortnight
Wetting in the rain, drying in the sunlight
One day the cashier send and she call me
I say, “Well today, Spoiler have some money.”
But instead of money she say, “Mr Thorne
Just put another thousand on top and gone.”
Chorus:
Just because I have my money in the bank since the age of nine
Oh, them big shot put theirs on mine
I have to wait again just a couple years
In order to get out mine, they have to take off theirs.
Is no sense to worry and go half crazy
More patience than Job, I go take it easy
Some have their cars to go Point Cumana
But I am going to ride on my wooden scooter
Some have their big, fat turkey for Christmas
But when the day come, I must eat a breakfast
Ah done accustom, let me continue
To live on Vaseline and camphor ball stew.
Chorus:
Just because I have my money in the bank since the age of nine
And them big shot put theirs on mine
I have to wait again just a couple years
In order to get out mine, they have to take off theirs.
