With many thanks for the corrections. I have put them into the version below. Wolfgang THIS FOR THAT Rod Paterson They say it's money that buys your body And it's love that buys your soul When they sell you, hope to hell They sell you whole This for that, tit for tat Makes a man a fatter cat Doesn't seem to matter that It leaves him on the dole Idleness to leisure It's a penny to a pound No one less needs less to do Than when he's down This for that, tit for tat Makes a man a fatter cat Doesn't seem to scatter that Much happiness around [bridge 1] Friday night and Saturday morning You'll kick off your shoes Saturday night helps a Sunday fight off The Monday morning blues [Django-esque guitar break] [bridge 2] Nobody threw the lever Nobody pulled the pin Nobody tripped the switch That let the party begin Nobody checked the freezer Nobody hit the grouse Nobody said the cocktails Weren't on the house America's hot potato is the apple of her eye Russia knows her onions when tomatoes fly This for that, tit for tat Makes a man a fatter cat Doesn't seem to matter that hate mushrooms fill the sky [bridge 1 again] Friday night and Saturday morning You'll kick off your shoes Saturday night makes a Sunday fight off The Monday morning blues It's money that buys your body And it's love that buys your soul When they sell you, hope to hell They sell you whole This for that, tit for tat Makes a man a fatter cat Doesn't seem to matter that It heaves him on Yes, sees him on And leaves him on the dole
