Plata Pero Poquita
Jose Arbey
Money But Not Much
I don’t want a million bucks
I just want a little cash
As long as I get my three meals
And three changes of clothes
The booze and the good times
Living surrounded by friends
Doing my duties right
And having no enemies
When I was just a kid
I was wild and ambitious
I prayed to God above
To make me a famous guy
Horses, farms, and cars
Watches and gold jewelry
Greenbacks in the bank
Mansions and a big treasure
But God put me to the test
Made it a little tough
Sent me to work hard
Earning just a little cash
Sure it’s not much comfort
But it’s pretty simple
I’m far from hell
With just a little cash
Pour me ten drinks
'Cause I can pay cash right now
With just a little cash!
So I thank God
With endless gratitude
'Cause He gave me what I deserve
And that’s having a little cash
And I think He saved me
From others’ envy
From the threat of kidnapping
From betrayals and problems
My family is my wealth
And I’ve never humiliated anyone
I work without laziness
And I don’t brag about help
Whether I’m on the bus or walking
I get to where I need to go
A loyal and true friend
Envy doesn’t stick with me
Not a show-off, not conceited
Definitely not arrogant
In love, I’m well-liked
Very romantic and gallant
And I’m just what I seem
I never get into drama
The only thing I show
Is having a little cash
Not a show-off, not conceited
Definitely not arrogant
In love, I’m well-liked
Very romantic and gallant
And I’m just what I seem
I never get into drama
The only thing I show
Is having a little cash
