Folding Money

When I was just a boy my granddaddy
Took me to town one afternoon
He drove an LTD, wore a big white Stetson
And two tone cowboy boots

He said, "Son here it goes', and he handed me a twenty
Just to see the look on my face
He said, 'don't tell your mama nothing about it
Don't spend it all in one place'

You see it takes folding money to get the deal done
Folding money to have a little fun
Folding money to pay a few bills
Eat a steak dinner and cure a couple ills

Folding money, you need a little stash
Greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes folding money to get the deal done

Now ever since the day I learned to earn a dollar
I've been taking his advice to heart
'Cause when a man finds the courage to keep his cash
Some romance is bound to start

Now romance is just like money
You can always get more if you've got it
And let me tell you friends, I'm a lot more
Handsome with a see note in my pocket

You see it takes folding money to get the deal done
Folding money to have a little fun
Folding money to pay a few bills
To take a girl dancing and cure a couple ills

Folding money, you need a little stash
Greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes folding money

It's a pain in the back, it's a cold hard fact
Gets to everybody sooner or later
You can give it to a charity and in some disparity
Stock up your refrigerator

[Incomprehensible], it'll kill you if you let it
You can blow it with nothing to show
It will make your wallet fatter but the truth
Of the matter's can't take it with you when you go
Better spend a little

Folding money to get the deal done
Folding money to have a little fun
Folding money to pay a few bills
Spread a little 'round and cure a couple ills

Folding money, you need a little stash
Greenback dollars and cold hard cash
Save it for a rainy day or go away a little bit, son
It takes folding money to get the deal done
