[Becky-Sue:]You know, I love country musicAnd I practice daily on my out of tune cocamamie ukuleleBut my daily ukulele playing ain't going to get me farI need a guitar, an amp, and some quadraphonicsAnd several hundred dollars worth of electronicsIf I'm ever going to get to be a country western star!Got to get me some dollars and senseDollars and senseThem green-back bills with the pictures of the Presidents[Banker:]Now, I hear you squawking, Miss Becky-SueWhy don't you drop by the bank and I'll explain to youHow you can make more dollars if you use a little common senseChill out, young lady, no need to fretAlthough you can't afford to buy that new equipment yetYou got a couple hundred bucks saved up in your birthday stashWhy not deposit them dollars in the bank instead?Then at the end of the year you'll come out way aheadBecause the bank will pay you money in exchange for the use of your cash!And that's called interest; you're making money that wayAnd you can buy that gear about a year from todaySongtexte[Becky-Sue:]Saving sounds mighty nifty, Mister Banker DudeYou know I'd like to be thrifty, but I ain't in the mood I'm inspired and I'm writing me a brand new country songI got a lot of country western in my bloodLike Reba and Loretta and Wynonna JuddGot to get me that equipmentAnd I ain't about to wait too long![Becky Sue & Banker:]Got to get me some dollars and senseDollars and senseThem green-back bills with the pictures of the Presidents[Becky-Sue:]So please, Mister Banker, won't you tell me howI can get my mitts on some money right now?Because waiting for my dollars really doesn't seem to make much sense[Banker:]Why sure, Becky-Sue, I can give you a handI can lend you the money, but you must understandWhen you borrow from the bankThen you got to pay it back on timeAnd when you're done paying back every dollar that's dueYou will find you paid them back a little extra tooFor every dollar you borrowYou got to pay the bank a dollar and a dime!Again that's interest, and it's just a fee You pay to use the money that you borrow from me[Becky Sue & Banker:]We're talking about dollars and sense, dollars and senseThem green-back bills with the pictures of the PresidentsSince life is one experience that spares us no expenseGot to use them dollars with a little bit of common senseWe got to use them dollars with a little bit of common senseAre you sure Dolly Parton started this way?
