Well, you're broken before you start,
a fool and he money compelled to part.
You're broken before you start,
fool and he money compelled to part.
Swandering and fetching, living nice,
in fools paradise when your money turn,
all company gone, so be wise, live nice.
Let Trip be your guide, Mama, you think twice,
put something aside.
Never mind the things they will say about you,
do the things that is best to do,
have a lot of fun,
but remember what Sparrow says,
eat some for the rainy day.
If
you're rich they'll bow at your feet,
you'll never know it's D.C.
And they'll never do nothing wrong,
but they're pretending all along.
Well,
people like me ain't stand a chance,
but they'll give you tolerance and you won't
detect, till you're in trouble up to your neck.
Mama, you live nice.
Let Trip be your guide, oh,
think twice,
put something aside.
Never mind the things they will say about you,
do the things that you have to do,
have
a lot of fun,
but remember what Sparrow says,
eat some for the rainy day.
In
order for you to learn,
you could take advice or go and get burned,
spend like a sailor and entertain,
Tom, Dick, Harry, Mary and Jane,
whiskey by the *** for them to drink,
and any time you think all all you is one,
wait till your money done,
I tell you be wise,
live nice.
Let Trip be your guide, mama, you think twice,
put something aside.
Never mind the things they will say about you,
do the things that is best to do,
have a lot of fun,
but remember what Sparrow says,
eat some for the rainy day.
If
you buy people company,
buy it with old talk,
not with money,
when you're broke,
they will pass you straight,
they always hurry,
they always late,
because they can't enjoy life at your expense.
So no more tolerance,
that's the truth,
my friends,
that's the way a fool and his money ends.
So be wise, live nice.
Let Trip be your guide, mama, you think twice,
put something aside.
Never mind the things they will say about you,
do the things that is best to do,
have a lot of fun,
but remember what Sparrow says,

Let Trip be your guide,
put something aside.
Let Trip be your guide,
put something aside.
Let Trip be your guide.
