lyrics

Mister Money Bags,
I’m desperate and I’m poor.
Mister Money Bags,
you know I hate to ask for more,
but I’m living on the street
without a thing to eat.
Oh Mister Money Bags,
could you spare some change for me?
Mister Money Bags,
you’re fat and you’re content.
Oh Mister Money Bags,
your money’s poorly spent:
you bought a palace to hoard your glee,
you bought a whore to spill your seed.
Oh Mister Money Bags,
could you spare some change for me?
Somehow he’ll find a way to
buy his way through the eye of the needle.
Mister Money Bags, you dog, you scoundrel, you weasel.
Mister Money Bags!
I’m broke and I’m alone.
Mister Money Bags,
all my gold has turned to stone,
and the roads are all too steep,
and the water’s all to deep.
Oh Mister Money Bags,
could you spare some change for me?
Somehow he’ll find a way to
buy his way through the eye of the needle.
Mister Money Bags, you dog, you scoundrel, you weasel.
Mister Money Bags!
I’ve been out here for a week.
Good Mister Money Bags,
without shoes on my feet.
And now my throat’s too cold to speak,
and my heart’s too cold to beat.
Please Mister Money Bags,
kind Mister Money Bags,
dear Mister Money Bags,
could you spare some change for me?
