they say that money makes a man change
i'll be fine, i've got fifty left to my name
don't worry next round it's on me boys
line 'em up, drink 'em down hope you enjoy

i don't care for money much, it don't care for me
mother always told me that the best stuff's always free
if you care to join me i could use the company
i got fifty bucks and it's not coming home with me

some people say that i'm a sucker
for a girl with a smile like my mother
they say i'm spending too much on her
but damn, take a look - can you blame me

i don't care for money much, it don't care for me
father always told me that it sure don't grow on trees
if you care to join me well i'll fix you up a drink
i got fifty bucks and it's not coming home with me

so i raise my glass
i dedicate this next one to the good old working class

i don't care for money much, it don't care for me
one day i might make some bucks, 'till then this way i'll be
sitting with the likes of you waiting for my break

i got fifty bucks but it's not coming home with me
i go t nothing left, looks like they got the best of me
