Stop it! Now look: no one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle, do you understand? Even - and I want to make this absolutely clear - even if they do say “Jehovah”.

I’ve got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas.  
I’ve got forty thousand French francs in my fridge.  
I’ve got lots and lots of lira,  
Now the deutschmark’s getting dearer,  
And my dollar bill could buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money,  
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash,  
Some people say it’s folly  
But I’d rather have the lolly  
With money you can make a smash.

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money  
There is nothing like a newly minted pound  
All Everyone must hanker  
For the butchness of a banker  
It’s accountancy that makes the world go round.

You can keep your Marxist ways  
For it’s only just a phase.  
All For its money, money, money,  
Makes the world go round.

Money, money, money, money, money, money!

What d’you want one of them for! I’m not going to clean it out. You said you’d clean the tiger out, but do you? No, I suppose you’ve lost interest in it now. Now it’ll be ant ant ant for a couple of days, then all of a sudden, ‘oh, mum, I’ve bought a sloth’ or some other odd-toed ungulate like a tapir.
