The Money Tree

The Money Tree - Patience/Mark McIntyre Orchestra/Prudence

Written by：Clifford Ferre

Pull up an easy chair and sit yourself down and lean back

While we tell ya about the folks

Who live in the town of Greenback

They never have to work on their hands and knees

'Cause they live in a place where money grows on trees

Oh the money tree the money tree

It's a beautiful sight to see

Why couldn't it happen to you and me

There isn't a person in town who isn't a regal spender

And they never wear a frown for lack of that legal tender

They're all ten years ahead on their income tax

And the whole town's driving next year's Cadillacs

Oh the money tree the money tree

It's a beautiful sight to see

Why couldn't it happen to you and me

Well it grows fresh new bills that snap and crack

As fast as you pick 'em it grows 'em back

Every day there's a bumper crop

With a million dollar bill way up on top

Now there is just one way to visit the town of Greenback

Pull up an easy chair and sit yourself down and lean back

Then close your eyes and suddenly you will see

That beautiful lovely wonderful money tree

Oh the money tree the money tree

It's a beautiful sight to see

Why couldn't it happen to you and me

Why couldn't it happen to you and me
