Lyrics
The preacher told me: "You're gonna die someday."
The preacher told me: "You're gonna die someday.
So give ten per cent to God and let us pray."
The banker told me: "Invest and save."
The banker told me: "Invest and save.
If you're lucky you'll be old and rich someday."
But my mama told me the one and only truth.
My mama told me the one and only truth.
She said, "Spend your money and don't look back,
'cause you'll never see a hearse with a luggage rack."
A poor man told me: "I don't ask for much."
A poor man told me: "I don't ask for much.
But I wonder if I'll ever have enough."
A rich man told me: "I don't ask for much."
A rich man told me: "I don't ask for much.
One more million might be just enough."
But my mama told me the one and only truth.
My mama told me the one and only truth.
She said, "Spend your money and don't look back,
'cause you'll never see a hearse with a luggage rack."
The guru told me: "The sky is blue."
The guru told me: "The sky is blue.
And everywhere I turn I see the truth."
The poet told me: "The sky is gray."
The poet told me: "The sky is gray.
And nothing really matters anyway."
But my mama told me the one and only truth.
My mama told me the one and only truth.
She said, "Spend your money and don't look back,
'cause you'll never see a hearse with a luggage rack."
