Tender, tiny dollar bill- you give my time such worth. Give my life to buy a thrill And a box put under earth. My gravestone sits over there; paid a pretty penny. Manages to look so fair Surrounded by so many. The car I drive is so nice For my ride to the yard Do not ask of me the price Lest your dignity be marred. My golden watch is better; Reminds of time well spent. Paid off the hassling debtor. Lived at work to pay the rent.

The Price
Tender, tiny dollar bill- you give my time such worth. Give my life to buy a thrill And a box put under earth. My gravestone sits over there; paid a pretty penny. Manages to look so fair Surrounded by so many. The car I drive is so nice For my ride to the yard Do not ask of me the price Lest your dignity be marred. My golden watch is better; Reminds of time well spent. Paid off the hassling debtor. Lived at work to pay the rent.
