From the recording You, Me, and All of the Above
For years, I have had money worries, like so many of us. When the kids were young, those worries sometimes took the form of nursery rhymes. Here is the result!
Lyrics
Chorus
Who knows? Tell me who knows?
Who knows where my money goes?
It’s a mystery, so please tell me
Who knows where my money goes?
1. Nobody knows the trouble I seen (who knows where my money goes?)
Gonna go downtown, find a money machine (who knows where my money goes?)
2. Old King Cole was a merry old soul (who knows....)
Cause the peasants paid for his pipe and bowl (who knows...)
chorus
3. My friend Bill is nice as can be
But too many Bills been chasin’ me
4. My paycheck’s fine, for two weeks enough
But unfortunately, it comes once a month!
5. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Here comes a lawyer who’s really slick
6. Jack ‘n’ Jill went up the hill
Tumbled back down when they saw the bill
chorus
7. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Reached for a dollar and had a great fall
8. Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
They raised her rent and she had to rough it
9. Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town
No money for clothes, he’s in a nightgown
10. Little Jack Horner stuck in his thumb
I want my money, not this darn plum!
