Pay the Man - David Lindley

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to paaaaaay the man

Of the senators in the fancy houses

He’s a friend of Babylon

Got a wife and a dog and a cadillac

And people on the run

Got his ways and means and all he needs

To keep him satisfied

But before he leaves this world

He’s got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Sally had a baby

It almost drove her crazy

When she dropped her into the river

Now Sally she’s a happy girl

And you see her on a corner

She’s doin' the best she can

She whisper to you soft and low:

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

A capella

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody’s got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man
