You got to paaaaaay the man





Of the senators in the fancy houses

He's a friend of Babylon

Got a wife and a dog and a cadillac

And people hung around

Got his ways and means and all he needs

To keep him satisfied

But before he leaves this world

He's got to pay the man



Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man



Sally had a baby

It almost drove her crazy

When she dropped her into the river

Now Sally she's a happy girl

And you see her on a corner

She's doing all the best she can

And she whispers to you ?????

You got to pay the man



Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man



Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man

Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man



A capella



Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man



Pay the man

Everybody's got to pay the man

And before you leave this world

You got to pay the man
