Time's Gettin' Tougher Than Tough Lyrics

Jimmy Witherspoon Time's Gettin' Tougher Than Tough

Well, money's gettin' cheaper, prices gettin' steeper
Found myself a woman but I just couldn't keep her
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin' the stuff
Well, pork chops on the market,
ask the butcher for a pound
Couldn't buy a pork chop
when I laid my money down
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, politicians are tellin' folks
to cut out on their meat
Why don't they cut the price an' let the people eat?
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin' the stuff

Well, I can't afford to live, I guess I'll have to try
Undertaker's got a union, and it costs too much to die
Times gettin' tougher than tough
Things gettin' rougher than rough
I make a lot of money, I just keep spendin' the stuff
