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 And that love defying thing About which I'm gonna sing Is economics [Verse 1] Now Cora had a husband makin' seven a day She left him for a guy who make 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 werе doin' okay For Sarah had an evening job and he workеd all day [Chorus] Now 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 got a little honey Money go Honey go [Verse 3] Now Ruby was a woman who could needle your spine But when you want 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 [Bridge] Though she can be trusted To leave you when you're busted Dough come back Flo come back [Verse 4] Now Edna used to slip her husband's pay down her chest And just to keep it extra safe, she never undressed [Chorus] Now that's good economics That's good economics That's good But awful bad for love
