GYou've heard that old story ever Csince time began
That Gmoney is root of all D7evil
Well Glet me tell you mine it's much Colder than time
For the Groot of all D7evil is a Gman
They'll Ctell you that they love you and Gwill until they die
But A7you'll find them out with someone else
Before the D7ink on the licenses is dry
So Ggirls take my advice think it Cover once or twice
For the Groot of all D7evil is a Gman
Sure there's honky tonk girls but Cbefore you condemn
And Glook at her with scorn in your D7eyes
Give Gher just a friendly smile hear her Ctroubles for a while
For the Gcause of her D7trouble was a Gman
