Words and music by John Kay and Michael Wilk



Money, money, day and night

You got to pay and pay

Well, I tell you honey, it just ain't right

To let them chase you that way

If dog eat dog is what they want then you must leave your mark

If dog eat dog is all they know you got to bite and bark

So if you need me to join the fight, girl

I'll be there right by your side

Oh, lean on me girl, I'm



Rock steady, I'm rough and ready

Nobody will make us run

Rock steady, I'm tough as any

Nobody will take our fun



Groan and moanin', rant and rave

It's 'bout to drive me wild

Well, you just mind your own and stay in your cave

And we won't have to fight

It's "Don't do this and don't say that and don't have too much fun

You can't do this, you can't say that, it simply isn't done".

Well, if we're needed to make a stand girl

We'll be right here side by side

Oh, stay with me girl I'm?br> 

Rock steady, I'm rough and ready

Nobody will make us run

Rock steady, I'm tough as any

Nobody will take our fun



Ah baby, I go crazy,

Tryin' to deal with these jokers and clowns

Nobody here will turn us around

There's no more runnin' and no more time

It's here and now, I'm gonna stand my ground



Rock steady, I'm rough and ready

Nobody will make us run

Rock steady, I'm tough as any

Nobody will take our fun
