This Business Is Goin' Downfrom the album "The Lost Cabin and the Mystery Trees"(2006 Terry Taylor)You've been screamin' again that I don't do enough for success to be assured Hey, I could hire a midget with a sandwich board to pass out my brochure or a has-been actor with a bullhorn and cape to help get out the word I could save my nickels in a mason jar or polish me up a turd Chorus: This business is goin' down Your love depends on the money Now that business is in the ground guess so are we, honey Well you nagged me into getting that loan from your daddy who calls me "that damn ne'er-do-well" Bet he'd love to see his little angel come home while getting off watching me in hell I've tried free baloons, a mechanical ape and markin' everything half off While you're home at your job of watchin' T.V. shows it's quite a thrill here bein' my own boss Chorus: Rich or poor, 'till death comes callin' before God and man a vow but since you see me as a dead man walkin' guess that don't hold any water now that business is goin' down Well, I sure do wish we had a couple of kids Now wouldn't that be cool? You'd show Suzy how to run her future old man down, I'd teach Bobby how to drop out of school You'd instruct her in the art of gourmet cookin' -- fine meals from the microwave Like me, my son will be an entrepreneur and retire to an early grave Chorus: This business is goin' down What a couple of dummies! A cold fish and a circus clown Oh Lord, aren't we funny? This business is goin' down Your love depends on the money Now that business is in the ground guess so are we, honey Now that business is in the ground guess so are we, honey |
