Life’s a joke
don’t you know?
places you belong
keep you on your feet
keen, hear birds play
beep beep
tweet tweet
mr, mrs, sir’s so sure
oh so sure of
money, ain’t it funny
how much it buys
how much it can lie
what you have, what you own
oh no no no
i don’t wanna play this game no more
can’t live without
and it’s a pity if you have too much
to spend, to lend, paper in your hand
only paper with numbers, words and faces in between
dollars, yen and euros
pounds, haven’t you found
it's all too funny, rather spend it good
get some food into my tummy
yummy yummy, yum yum
