Words and music by John Kay and Michael Wilk

|
Money, money, day and night
|
You got to pay and pay
|
Well, I tell you honey, it just ain't right
|
To let them chase you that way
|
If dog eat dog is what they want then you must leave your mark
|
If dog eat dog is all they know you got to bite and bark
|
So if you need me to join the fight, girl
|
I'll be there right by your side
|
Oh, lean on me girl, I'm
|
|
Rock steady, I'm rough and ready
|
Nobody will make us run
|
Rock steady, I'm tough as any
|
Nobody will take our fun
|
|
Groan and moanin', rant and rave
|
It's 'bout to drive me wild
|
Well, you just mind your own and stay in your cave
|
And we won't have to fight
|
It's "Don't do this and don't say that and don't have too much fun
|
You can't do this, you can't say that, it simply isn't done".
|
Well, if we're needed to make a stand girl
|
We'll be right here side by side
|
Oh, stay with me girl I'm?br>
|
Rock steady, I'm rough and ready
|
Nobody will make us run
|
Rock steady, I'm tough as any
|
Nobody will take our fun
|
|
Ah baby, I go crazy,
|
Tryin' to deal with these jokers and clowns
|
Nobody here will turn us around
|
There's no more runnin' and no more time
|
It's here and now, I'm gonna stand my ground
|
|
Rock steady, I'm rough and ready
|
Nobody will make us run
|
Rock steady, I'm tough as any
|
Nobody will take our fun
