Pay the man
You gotta pay the man
Before you leave this world
You gotta pay the man

Everybody's gotta pay the man
Everybody in the whole wide world
Gotta pay the man
Oh the senator in a fancy house
He's the prince of Babylon
He got a wife and a dog and a Cadillac
And people on the run.
He's got ways and means and all he needs
To keep him satisfied
But before he leaves this world
He's gotta pay the man
Pay the man
Everybody's gota pay the man
Before you leave this world
You gotta pay the man
Pay the man
Everybody's gotta pay the man
Everybody in the whole wide world
Gotta pay the man

It almost drove her crazy
She dropped it in the river
Now Sally is a happy girl.
Now you see her on the corner
She's doing the best she can
She'll whisper to you soft and low
You gota pay the man

Everybody's gotta pay the man
Before you leave this world
