A Dollar Ain't a Dollar Anymore Songtext
von Oscar Brand

I was feeling kind of hungry
And I thought I′d buy some bread
Stepped into a neighbouring grocery store
I put down the usual money but the grocer shook his head
He said a dollar ain't a dollar anymore
CHOURS
A dollar bill don′t buy what it used to use to own
A dollar bill don't buy what it used to use to cause
A dollar ain't a dollar anymore.
Now I live in a rooming house, my room is awful small,
As a matter of fact it′s only two by four.
When the landlord raised my rent and now I′m living in the wall
'Cause a dollar ain′t a dollar anymore.


(CHOURS)
Now my coat got worn and ragged
And my shirt began to wilt
Every time I moved my bridges tared
They're been patched so many times I look like granny′s quilt
A dollar ain't a dollar anymore
(CHOURS)
When Friday came I stood online to get my salary
The teller laughed until his sides were saw
What with does with fines and taxes you got nothing
Minus three
A dollar ain′t a dollar anymore
(CHOURS)
