Every morning bright and early, he'd climb way up in the sky
Be kind to your rich relatives
It pays big money but he sure can't spend it now
Is don't go getting yourself killed
Let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
It pays big money if you're willing to take a chance
It pays big money and big money's where it's at
He said, it pays big money, man, I'm into that
And that pays big money and we're all into that
And I never understood it, so one day I asked him why
And he smoked them big long cigars and he'd wink at you and grin
It pays big money, having foolish kin
Let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
Well, my late Uncle Charlie, was this demolition hound
It pays big money but he sure can't spend it now
Well, now the moral of this story, boys
He carried a case of dynamite seemed everywhere he went
Let me tell you something, sonny, you ought to see my bank account
Let me show you something, sonny, take a look at this bank account
They just might put you in their will
He said, it pays big money and man, I'm into that
It pays big money and we're rolling in it now
It pays big money, guess I owe it all to them
He'd travel across the country blowing buildings to the ground
It pays big money if you're willing to take a chance
