Yancey - Making Music For Money lyrics

I woke up this morning

I was tired as I could be

I think I was counting my money

When I should have been counting my sheep.

My agent he just called me

And he told me what I should be

That I should make my music for money

Instead of makincl my music for me.

I said I know that this may sound funny

But money don't mean nothin' to me

I'm gonna make my music for money

I'm gonna make my music for me.

He said the people buy the love song

Rock'n'roll but not too long.

He said

Girl you've got to be commercial

If you want to turn the people on

I said

turning on the people

Now that's a beautiful place to be

But if I spend my time making them up a rhyme

Who's gonna turn on me?

I know that this may sound funny . . .

I said I know that this may sound funny . . .

I know that this may sound funny . . .
