Times Are Getting' Tougher Than Tough - Jimmy Witherspoon

Well, money’s getting cheaper, prices getting steeper

Found myself a woman, but I just couldn’t keep her

Time’s getting tougher than tough

Things getting rougher than rough

I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs

I can’t afford to live, but I guess I’ll have to try

Undertakers got a union and it cost too much to die

Time’s getting tougher than tough

Things getting rougher than rough

I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs

Well, politicians are telling folks to cut out on their meat

Why don’t they cut the prices and let the people eat?

Time’s getting tougher than tough

Things getting rougher than rough

I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs

I can’t afford to live, but I guess I’ll have to try

Undertakers got a union and it cost too much to die

Time’s getting tougher than tough

Things getting rougher than rough

I make a lot of money, I just keep spending the stubs
