Lyrics

Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to paaaaaay the man Of the senators in the fancy houses He's a friend of Babylon Got a wife and a dog and a cadillac And people on the run Got his ways and means and all he needs To keep him satisfied But before he leaves this world He's got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Sally had a baby It almost drove her crazy When she dropped her into the river Now Sally she's a happy girl And you see her on a corner She's doin' the best she can She whisper to you soft and low: You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man A capella Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man Pay the man Everybody's got to pay the man And before you leave this world You got to pay the man
