lyrics

Waiting for the Money to Roll In

This month I became a real songwriter
So I jacked my job and given up workin'
I've now written a few songs
Which tried to right some wrongs
Now I'm waiting for the money to roll in

I wrote some songs about love, lust, and passion
I bared my soul to everyone list'nin'
Though I performed nationwide
To get the Public on my side
I'm still waiting for the money to roll in

I'm waiting for the money to roll in
And my life in the fast lane to begin
So I'm waiting for the money to roll in

Next I tried to utilise my sense of humour
And I tried my very best to entertain
I wrote lyrics bright and sunny
That some people found quite funny
But I'm waiting for the money to roll in

I met a man who started writing in the fifties
He began to write with skiffle and with swing
Though he's played in lots of bands
He still cannot understand
Why he's waiting for the money to roll in

I'm waiting for the money to roll in
And my life in the fast lane to begin
So I'm waiting for the money to roll in

So today I bought a ticket for the lottery
Ten million pounds tonight that I can win
You may think that I'm naive
But I really do believe
That I'm waiting for the money to roll in

I'm waiting for the money to roll in
And my life in the fast lane to begin
I'm waiting for the money to roll in
