(B7)                                                       (E)

(E)
I put a lemonade stand down at 4th & Main,I was gonna make some money that's the name of the game
(A)                                               (E)
Well the money rolled in,my ol' bank account grew,little did I know that I would soon be through
(B7)                                                         (E)

  (A)                                               (B7)
I work real hard just tryin to get ahead,but when I look at my books all I see is red,
  (A)                                                     (E)

(A)                                                      (E)
