about

Mini-pop musical about life in a money economy.

lyrics

V1
She's my angel of the evening
I can see the starlight through her eyes
And you know I found paradise
Right between her thighs
But she sings

Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour

V2
She’s my angel of the evening
You know I love her so
And that’s why I give her
All of my dough
but she sings

Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour

Visa or cash will do
I’ll even take a cheque from you
Cause you really want a taste of honey
And I really want your money

V3
She’s my angel of the evening
She’s the light of my life
And if she’d let me
I‘d make her my wife
but she sings

Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour

V4
She’s my angel of the evening
She’s everything of beauty
And she don’t need me
She don’t love me
but she sings

Ch
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour

Visa or cash will do
I’ll even take a cheque from you
Cause you really want a taste of honey
And I really want your money

Hey buddy, you owe me two hundred for the hour
Hey buddy
Two hundred bucks…
What`ya think this is
Love

V5
She`s my the client of the hour
Up in this office tower
I’m gonna smile and shake her hand
But she’ll never know where I really stand

Ch
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour

V6
Her parents died
And left her alone
And now I‘ve got power of attorney
I’m taking her her on a real dark journey

Ch
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
She`s just a billable hour
You're just a billable hour

Visa or cash will do
I’ll even take a cheque from you
It’s not about right and it`s not about wrong
You are weak and I am strong

Hey, you owe me
I`ve got invoices here
You`ve got to pay
And pay
I`m gonna take it all
