I'm stuck out here in the Hollywood Hills
Got me five green dollar bills
Mister, sell me some gasoline
Hey boy, don't you be obscene

Got no more gas today
Well tow your damn car away
Just for figuring tricks to get your pay

Collecting money for the man
Get that money for the man
And help to give him all you can
Get that money for the man

This is just a roller coaster hoax
Government is playing jokes
Waiting in line 'til your engine croaks
Have your money ready, folks

Running short of all they say
In the good old USA
Rationing and more to pay

Collecting money for the man
Get that money for the man
Help to give him all you can
Get that money for the man

Here we are sitting in the carwash line
And every car is as clean as mine
Prices up and we're still buying
The same number of planes are flying

Gotta take what we can get
Prices will be higher yet
Collecting for the national debt

Get that money for the man
Get that money for the man
Help to give him all you can
Get that money for the man
