Your Money Don't Last
Parody of "Your Mama Don't Dance" by Loggins and Messina
(Luke 12:16-21 16:19-31; 1 Timothy 6:6-10; Matthew 6:19-21, 13:40-42; Proverbs 16:8; Haggai 1:9-11; Malachi 3:10)

Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
The reaper comes around -- and it's time to go in the ground
Where will it go? You ought to know

The old goat said, "There's a lot of extra grain in my bins"
"And I'm out of space, so I'll build a bigger place," but it's a sin
Read chapter 12 in Luke, and you'll know he'll never use
Those better bins -- say it again

And it's all because
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
The reaper comes around -- and it's time to go in the ground
Where will it go? You ought to know

Ba ba ba ba
In Luke 16 verse 19, you'll find the place to start
The wealthy dude and Lazarus, who, you know, lived life apart
The rich man had the food and the drink and lived with ease
It was nice till he died, but then the guy said
Ow, but it's hot down here
Ooh wee! They're comin' with heat -- for folks who love greed

And it's all because
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
Your money don't last -- if you have it all locked in a vault
The reaper comes around -- and it's time to go in the ground
Where will it go? You ought to know
Where will you go? You ought to know
Where will you go? You ought to know

Luke 12:20
"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you;
and now who will own what you have prepared?'"
