You heard of the expression,
"Money don't grow on trees!"
Well let me teach this lesson,
It does; I do believe.
Not to say that money
Grow on it just like leaves,
But don't you think it's funny
How often we're deceived?

'Cause isn't money cotton?
And where does that come from?
They probably have forgotten,
Or really think I'm dumb.

I pay no mind to cliches
With attendant deceptions.
They only coin a phrase
To color our perceptions
Money does grow on trees,
As well as some elastics.
Stocks, bonds and C.D's
But not the coins or plastic.
