Nanny and a Hard Place

Lyrics

Already spent a hundred dollars today I gotta spend a hundred more Just to walk outside my door Here in New York we all got bills to pay The best things in life are free Everyone else charges a fee You might not understand me So hear me when say I'm caught between the nanny and a hard, hard place Look at the people at my coffee shop How do I like my coffee poured? Coffee I know I can't afford Look at the shelves at my food co-op A million kinds of milk to choose Long as I pay my monthly dues You might not understand me So hear me when say I'm caught between the nanny and a hard, hard place I've tried financial planning My prospects can't keep pace I'm caught between the nanny and a hard, hard place Benadette from Togo That was a low blow It wasn't fair Benadette from Togo Tell me, how's it cost $20 an hour For a nanny share? My wife has her own perspective She says, "money isn't everything And we can live on a shoestring" But my wife has her own objective She's ready to do what has to be done Pretty soon she'll be ready for a second one I think now you understand me So hear me when I say I'm caught between the nanny and a hard, hard place I'd do anything for my family I started saving just in case I get caught between the nanny and a hard, hard place
