Lyrics
I was feelin’ kind-a hungry
And I thought I’d buy some bread,
I stepped into a neighboring groc’ry store,
I put down the usual money
But the grocer shook his head,
He said, “A dollar ain’t a dollar anymore.”

CHORUS
A dollar bill don’t buy what it used to do,
Buy what it used to do,
Buy what it used to,
Oh a dollar bill don’t buy what it used to,
‘Cause a dollar ain’t a dollar anymore.

I was livin’ in a roomin’ house,
My room was rather small,
As a matter of fact
‘Twas only two by four;
When the landlord raised the rent,
I had to move into the hall,
‘Cause a dollar ain’t a dollar anymore.

CHORUS

Now my coat got worn and ragged
And my shirt began to wilt,
Every time I moved m britches tore;
They’ve been patched so many times now
That I look like Granny’s quilt,
A dollar ain’t a dollar anymore.

CHORUS

When Friday came I stood on line
To get my salary,
The teller laughed until his side was sore;
What with dues and fines and taxes,
You got nothing minus three,
A dollar ain’t a dollar anymore.

CHORUS
