06x03 - Where the Money Goes

[bunniefuu]

[male narrator] Where does the money go?

Here's where the money goes.

Dad, how come you and Mom can't pay

to go on my band trip
to the Rose Bowl Parade?

Don't you make a ton of money?

I don't know about that,
but we do have a ton of expenses.

Like what? Isn't there something here
we can do without?

♪ We can stop buyin' groceries ♪

♪ But that might be a mistake ♪

♪ 'Cause eating is a habit I'd be ♪

♪ Loath to try and break ♪

♪ We could stop payin' income taxes ♪

♪ But they might send me to jail ♪

♪ And if we don't pay the mortgage
Then they'll take our house ♪

♪ Then where would we get our mail? ♪

♪ If not for all these bills and taxes ♪

♪ Our income would more than suffice ♪

♪ I'd feel like a real big cheese ♪

♪ Until everybody takes a slice ♪

♪ And I don't want to bore you ♪

♪ With my troubles or my woes ♪

♪ Still you're old enough
To know where the money goes ♪

♪ We don't have to pay for furniture ♪

♪ If you wanna learn upholstery ♪

♪ We don't really need
To pay the phone bill ♪

♪ We can use tin cans and a string ♪

It's bedtime!

♪ We'd never have to pay
To paint the house ♪

♪ If we went off and lived in a cave ♪

♪ And if you're planning
On inheriting a million bucks ♪

♪ Then there's really no need to save ♪

[squeals]

♪ We'd make a decent living ♪

♪ That's true ♪

♪ But we have to pay these bills
When they come due ♪

♪ Please observe this illustration ♪

♪ Which irrefutable shows ♪

♪ Exactly how and where
The money goes ♪

You know, if you could help us
cut down on some of these expenses,

I bet we could save enough
for you to go on that trip.

What could I do?

[man singing] ♪ We could really lower
The phone bill ♪

♪ If you limit the length
Of your call ♪

Bye!

♪ You could probably put some money
In your saving bank ♪

♪ If you skip one trip
To the mall ♪

♪ We'd spend a little less
On electricity ♪

♪ If you turn off the lights
When you leave ♪

♪ And we could save a lot
On our laundry bills ♪

♪ If you watch where
You put your sleeve! ♪

♪ You can bring a little in
With a part-time job ♪

♪ All we ask is
You do your best ♪

♪ If you earn a little here
And save a little there ♪

♪ We'll try to come up
With the rest ♪

♪ We can't stop the money
From tricklin' out ♪

♪ But we can control how it flows ♪

♪ And we can start by being aware
Of where the money goes ♪
