I'm always broke before my payday rolls around
I feel like a rabbit that the dogs are running down!
But today I got a call that said by Friday without fail
I'll get a lot of money in the mail!
Chorus:
There's money in the mail
My uncle Clarence put me in his will.
Since he died and went to heaven,
I won't have to go to jail
Hallelullya! There's money in the mail!!
I'm going to pay off everybody that I owe.
And most of them are people that I don't even KNOW!
Call up the County Sheriff "Get those bloodhounds off my trail!
Don't worry, boys, your money's in the mail!"
I'm no good at making money, no matter how I try.
One time I even put my body up for sale.
But nobody had a dollar they want to throw away.
But that don't bother me because
I got money in the mail
God bless Uncle Clarence, 'cause I never knew him well….
But, thanks to him, there's money in the mail!
