lyrics

Five legged spider, spin me a silk robe,
Show me your home and make me some money for your money tree;
Don’t you forget that you’re never too old,
Let yourself grow, you might turn into what you wanna be;

Caterpillars sleep around you,
Butterflies break free;
Even still you’re never bound to anything,
So go make some money for your money tree

You’re a money tree spider,
And I’m a money tree spender;
Would you rather be poor but wiser,
Or spend money on a six week bender?
Gotta gotta get away from the greed,
Gotta sow the money tree seed, then leave
Gotta gotta get away from the greed,
Money is worth more than you need

Two legged stranger, tell me your story,
How does it feel now you’re sitting sky high in your money tree?
Are you living the dream, or does it ever get boring?
Maybe you might soon find it’s just not what you wanna be.

Pessimistic folk surround you,
Bitterness and jealousy,
Even still, you’re never bound to anything,
So go make some money for your money tree

You’re a money tree spider,
And I’m a money tree spender
Would you rather be poor but wiser,
Or spend money on a six week bender?
Gotta gotta get away from the greed,
Gotta sow the money tree seed, then leave
Gotta gotta get away from the greed
Money is worth more than you need

Money is worth more than you need
Gotta gotta get away from the greed,
Gotta sow the money tree seed, then leave,
Gotta gotta get away from the greed,
Money is worth more than you need.
