Economics

Lyrics

[Intro] Man and woman you've got to admire They conquered cold and they conquered fire They stuck together through thick and thin Through lots of good and through lots of sin But there's one thing that beats 'em that they just can't subdue One thing that defeats 'em and splits 'em up in two Economics [Verse 1] Now Cora has a husband makin' seven a day She left him for a guy who made eleven a day [Chorus] Now that's good economics That's good economics That's good economics But awful bad for love [Verse 2] Now Sarah and her husband, they were doin' okay For Sarah had an evenin' job and he worked all day [Chorus] That's good economics That's good economics That's good economics But awful bad for love [Bridge] Economics are rough on love Economics are tough on love You got a little money You've got a little honey Money go, honey go [Verse 3] Now Ruby was a woman who could needle your spine But when you went to kiss her it was cash on the line [Chorus] Now that's good economics That's good economics That's good economics But awful bad for love [Verse 4] Now Joe, he had a job and worked with all of his might He worked so doggone hard that he was tired at night [Chorus] Now that's good economics That's good economics That's good economics But awful bad for love [Bridge] Economics are sad for love Economics are bad for love Flo she can't be trusted She'll leave you when you're busted Dough come back Flo come back [Verse 5] Now Edna used to slip her husband's pay down her chest And just to keep it extra safe, she'd never undress [Chorus] Now that's good economics That's good economics That's good economics But awful bad for love (Economics, economics) But awful bad for love
