Carnival World lyrics
by Jimmy Buffett



Carnival World--------------by Jimmy Buffett, Roger Guth and Jay OliverMy father always said that there's no free rideYou've got to make a sacrificeWith so many prophets on the Lord's sideEven your soul has got a priceBut talk is cheapIt takes money to buy your freedomAnd the tax man's knockin' on your doorChorus:Spend it while you canMoney's contrabandYou can't take it with you when you goSpend it while you canBefoer it's taken from your handThere's no free ride in this carnival worldToo many hawkwe on this traveling showEverybody's got something to sellBootleg Swatches, cardboard Gucci gearWatch your step at the wishing wellWhat's mine is mineIt's only one thin dimeMy cash has always meant to flowChorus:Spend it while you canMoney's contrabandYou can't take it with you when you goSpend it while you canBefoer it's taken from your handThere's no free ride in this carnival worldBut talk is cheapIt takes money to buy your freedomAnd the tax man's knocking on your doorChorus:Spend it while you canMoney's contrabandYou can't take it with you when you goSpend it while you canBefoer it's taken from your handThere's no free ride in this carnival world
