Well, madam, how'd you like it, maybe plenty off the back?
|
I heard the coiners took the scissors to the Union Jack,
|
With a snipper and a clipper and a bloody close shave
|
Making fivers, tenners, twenties, change.
|
What's your size? What's the hours? No, you don't need the hassle
|
Take the new short cut to the old clippy castle
|
With the ramblers and the scramblers and the loiners and the tykes
|
And the punks and the hippies living over by the pike.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
Money, money, money
|
Must be funny in a rich man's world
|
|
Pick a coin, any coin, and with a snip snip snip
|
You turn a Portuguese Guinea to a threepenny bit;
|
And every last watermark just curled up and died
|
And now the king and the queen got a bit on the side.
|
Don't be bloody silly keep away from bloody Billy
|
'Cause he's shopping all the chopping going down along the valley,
|
And supergrassing catches like a plague, to be sure,
|
But it's nothing that a bullet in the belly couldn't cure.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Oh yeah, oh yeah
|
|
Pleased to put a penny in the young man's hat,
|
Then roll 'em over, roll 'em over, lay 'em out flat!
|
Just deliver us kicking from our pokes and sacks
|
To the hills of Hebden, hell and Halifax,
|
And the next bugger blabs is the next bugger dies,
|
Got a flame for your pants and a poker for your eyes
|
Where every hot guinea is another hot dinner,
|
With the weavers and the spinners and the reverends and the sinners.
|
|
[CHORUS]

And supergrassing catches like a plague, to be sure,
|
But it's nothing that a bullet in the belly couldn't cure.
