A crisp twenty dollar bill
Will get me 5 gallons of milk
Or 6 boxes of cereal
Or 7 quarts of orange juice.

A crisp twenty dollar bill
Will get me 20 dollar lottery tickets
10 $2 tickets
Or 4 $5 tickets.

Decisions, decisions
Which will it be?

A crisp twenty dollar bill
Might be the end of me.

I struggle and struggle with
All the possibilities
That a crisp twenty dollar bill
Will allow me.

Should I spend it on me?
Or maybe my kids?
My sister's new baby?
My favorite charity?

Decisions, decisions
Oh which will it be?
A crisp twenty dollar bill
Will be the end of me.

I think...
I think...
I will save it.
