[00:00.00]A Dollar Ain't A Dollar Anymore - Various Artists/Wood/Hays/Seeger/Glazer
[00:03.81]I was feeling kinda hungry
[00:05.42]So I thought I'd buy some bread
[00:06.77]
[00:07.28]I went into the corner grocery store
[00:08.88]
[00:10.30]I took out the usual money
[00:12.02]But the grocer shook his head
[00:13.64]'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore
[00:15.49]
[00:16.96]Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
[00:20.14]Don't buy what it used to
[00:21.87]Don't buy what it used to
[00:23.97]A dollar hill don't buy what it used to
[00:27.12]'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore
[00:29.18]
[00:30.69]Now I live in a rooming house
[00:32.41]My room is awful small
[00:33.39]
[00:33.98]As a matter of fact it's only two by four
[00:36.06]
[00:37.04]But the landlord raised my rent
[00:38.31]And now I'm living in the wall
[00:39.86]
[00:40.52]'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore
[00:42.24]

[00:57.44]Here's a lesson in arithmetics:
[00:59.27]Now one and one make two
[01:00.34]
[01:00.97]And it is true that two and two make four
[01:02.94]
[01:03.64]But when the prices get higher
[01:05.63]Why arithmetic's a liar
[01:07.40]'Cause a dollar ain't a dollar anymore
[01:09.26]
[01:10.76]Oh a dollar bill don't buy what it used to
[01:14.06]Don't buy what it used to

[01:22.87]
[01:24.23]From the tree that grows
[01:25.23]In Brooklyn to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:27.03]
[01:27.83]From Florida out to the western shore
[01:29.52]
