Will you sing along: "I’ve got ninety thousand pounds in my pajamas  
I’ve got forty thousand French francs in my fridge  
I’ve got lost of lovely lira, now the deutsche mark’s getting dearer  
And my dollar bills would 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 splash"?
