lyrics

Well I've got a girl just as cute as a button and ever since I've known I've wanted for nothing.
But she knits her brow when she's thinking on something, her eyes open wide and her heart starts thumping.
She says "listen here baby will you look at these bills, our financial affairs really give me the chills."
"We got no dough and our rent is overdue," I said "calm down girl that's nothing new"

Since the dawn of time man has had his needs, ever since he climbed down from the trees.
Everything has a price but don't worry honey, what we're experiencing is just de calm before de money.

Well what happened next I can't explain, to me she became something strange.
She waved her arms and jumped around, shouting and screaming, pacing up and down.
She then proceeded to pack her clothes and with a thunderous slam out the door she goes.
Where she went God only knows, must have been something I said I suppose.

Since the dawn of time man has had his needs, ever since he climbed down from the trees.
Everything has a price but don't worry honey, what we're experiencing is just de calm before de money.

I sat there thinking on my own, man is not meant to live alone.
So I tried to call on the telephone to see if I could get her to come back home.
But all I got was a recorded message, relayed now in the following passage.
In a voice so shrill and hard and mean, this is what she said to me:

"I don't care about man's needs, why don't you go back and live up in the trees.
When you tell that landlord it won't sound funny, no dough buddy, it's just the calm before the money"

Since the dawn of time man has had his needs, ever since he climbed down from the trees.
Everything has a price but don't worry honey, what we're experiencing is just de calm before de money.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
