Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man 

And before you leave this world 

You got to pay, pay 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 hung around 

Got his ways and means and all he needs 

To keep him satisfied 

But before he leaves this world 

He's got to pay, pay the man 

Pay the man 

Everybody's got to pay the man 

And before you leave this world 

You got to pay, pay the man 

Sally had a baby 

It almost droke her crazy 

When she dropped into the river 

Now Sally she's a happy girl 

And you see her on a ... 

She's doing all the best she can 

And she... 

...you got to pay, pay the man 

Pay the man 

Everybody's got to pay the man 

And before you leave this world 

You got to pay, pay the man
