Runt for your Monday

No Spam - Just Runtz
Mascot
 Patron Saint
You are all probably tired of my lame runt pun blog post titles based on song titles. I was in a runtpuz Monday mood when I made this post. I was sure I knew of a Gloria Gaynor (or Donna Summer disco era?) lyric 'run for your money'. Not Peter, Paul and Mary for sure. Google does not come to my rescue, but finds another song I haven't heard of. Hopefully music collector M & A or another runter might be able to set my mind straight.

      ** Spoiler Alert ** [Altho probably not much, since everyone that comments here has already solved it.]

      @Teedmn - re: puztheme: PETER PAUL AND MARY start the long Across answers. They SANG lyrics containin the starred-clue stuff like "Jet plane" = "Leaving on a jet plane ..." or "It's all right" = "... don't think twice, it's all right".

    Nice, thanks! More whooshy than desperation for my solve.

    P.S. I haven't talked to r.alph since he started the Monday runt tradition, so this is unofficial notice. I have checked on the server periodically, and it has been up for three weeks without crashing. I kinda think it has recovered from it's problems, and is likely to stay up indefinitely.

      @Kirk - I like your theory about the server's stability. We'll maybe have to put it to the test, huh?
      Thanx!

    P.S. Ralph has given me access to restart the entire puzzlecrowd Linux server (up til now I could just start the Tomcat web server s/w). So we can keep things running without needing Ralph to bail us out after a total system crash. Fingers crossed that the server remains stable.
