Charlie Wood - That Note Costs a Dollar Lyrics

I must have just what it takes
Cause it keeps on taking it
Till it’s all used up
I can survive
On some luck and some jive
Mash my little buttons
And I rattle my tin cup

Is it groovin’? Does it groove?
Do the groove cognoscenti approve?
Let me give you the news
If you wanna pay your dues
You’ve got a lot of merchandise to move

That note costs a dollar
These changes go for two
Two fifty or three
This little line
Run you five ninety-nine
This chord right here is free

I must be on the top of the world
Cause every way I turn
I am headed down hill
Got a little chunk of soul
That I promised not to part with
But make me an offer
And I probably will

Is it moving? Does it move?
Is it headed for the sewer or the Louvre?
That little rhyme
Didn’t set you back a dime
You can check your sales receipt to prove

That note costs a dollar
These changes go for two
Two fifty or three
This little line
Run you five ninety-nine
This chord right here is free

Here is the bridge
It ain’t no big deal
Just a little modulation
But it keeps the same feel
At list price, it’s a bargain
At this price, it’s a steal
Throw you in another chorus
Just to show you I’m for real

That note costs a dollar
These changes go for two
Two fifty or three
This little line
Run you five ninety-nine
This chord right here is free
This chord right here is free
This chord right here is free

Well baby, what did you expect
For nothing?
