My older brother Tommy |
| [00:10.39] |
was a lineman rest his soul |
| [00:13.15] |
His job was hanging hot wires |
| [00:16.24] |
on them high-line power poles |
| [00:18.99] |
Every morning bright and early |
| [00:22.41] |
he'd climb way up in the sky |
| [00:25.05] |
And I never understood it |
| [00:28.06] |
so one day I asked him why |
| [00:30.70] |
|
| [01:24.32][00:31.15] |
He said it pays big money |
| [01:26.99][00:33.98] |
and man I'm into that |
| [01:30.02][00:37.34] |
It pays big money |
| [01:32.94][00:40.01] |
if you're willing to take a chance |
| [01:36.01][00:43.24] |
Let me tell you something sonny, |
| [01:39.07][00:46.12] |
you ought to see my bank account |
| [01:42.05][00:49.14] |
It pays big money |
| [01:45.63][00:52.08] |
but he sure can't spend it now |
| [01:00.27][00:55.70] |
|
| [01:00.50] |
Well, my late Uncle Charlie |
| [01:02.97] |
was this demolition hound |
| [01:05.96] |
He'd travel across the country |
| [01:09.17] |
blowing buildings to the ground |
| [01:11.82] |
He carried a case of dynamite |
| [01:15.34] |
seemed everywhere he went |
| [01:17.90] |
He smoked them big long cigars |
| [01:20.93] |
and he'd wink at you and grin |
| [02:02.14][01:23.55][01:48.40] |
|
| [02:02.30] |
Well now the moral of this story boys, |
| [02:06.54] |
is don't go getting yourself killed |
| [02:12.29] |
Be kind to your rich relatives |
| [02:16.31] |
they just might put you in their will |
| [02:24.69] |
|
| [02:25.38] |
That pays big money |
| [02:28.12] |
and we're all into that |
| [02:30.79] |
It pays big money |
| [02:34.20] |
and big money's where it's at |
| [02:37.11] |
Let me tell you something sonny, |
| [02:40.03] |
you ought to see my bank account |
| [02:43.24] |
It pays big money |
| [02:46.53] |
and we're rolling in it now |
| [02:49.41] |
|
| [02:49.71] |
It pays big money |
| [02:52.46] |
having foolish kin |
| [02:55.59] |
It pays big money |
| [02:58.65] |
guess I owe it all to them |
| [03:01.75] |
Let me show you something sonny, |
| [03:04.63] |
take a look at this bank account |
| [03:07.80] |
It pays big money; |
| [03:10.78] |
let's go spend some of it now |
