Pay The Band Lyrics & Chords By Buddy Whittington

Well my creditors are makin' a killing,
I'm in debt to everybody in town,
They're gonna come around, and pull my gold fillings,
Before the undertaker takes me down,
This high finance is getting; way outta hand,
When you've done dancing; you're gonna have to pay the band.

It's a long time with the care payments,
I'm two weeks late on the rent,
The credit cards ain't movin' no-where, loaded up a 21 percent,
Say it slowly, so why can't I understand,
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band.

Pay the band, pay the band, baby that's the name of that scene,
I'm robbin' from Peter just to pay to Paul,
Livin' beyond my means, come on and live your life to the limit,
Pull all the stops out while you can,
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band,
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band.

IRS is upon me, keepin track of every nickel I own,
I'm never gonna see six digits,
Cause there's only 5 in my zip code,
Lord have mercy on this working man,
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band.

Pay the band, pay the band, baby that's the name of that scene,
I'm robbin' from Peter just to pay to Paul,
Livin' beyond my means, come on and live your life to the limit,
Pull all the stops out while you can,
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band,
When you've done dancin' you're gonna have to pay the band
