ATF: Financial Planning

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Now look at them yo-yos

On your little finger
Maybe get a blister
On your thumb

Bangin’ on the bongos

Take the Money and Run
Steve Miller (Band)
This here's a story about
Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with
Nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house
Get high
And watch the tube
And here is what happened
When they decided to cut loose
They headed down to
Ooh
Old El Paso
That's where they ran into a
Great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man
While robbin’ his castle
Bobbie Sue
Took the money and run

Go on
Take the money and run
Go on
Take the money and run
Go on
Take the money and run
Go on
Take the money and run

Billy Mack
Is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly
What the fact is
He ain't gonna let
Those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of
The people's taxes
Bobbie Sue
Whoa whoa
She slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her
The very next day
They got the money
Hey
You know they got away
They headed down south
And they're still runnin’ today
Singin'

Go on
Take the money and run
Go on
Take the money and run
Go on
Take the money and run
Oooh Lord
Go on
Take the money and run

Yeah yeah yeah
Go on
Take the money and run
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Go on
Take the money and run
Oooh Lord
Go on
Take the money and run
Yeah
Yeah
Go on
Take the money and run
