"Money, Money, Money!"

Money, money, money! Dollar Almighty!
Early in the morning we’ll rise to worship Thee;
Money, money, money! Mammon is our king!
Root of all evil, is our love for Thee.

Money, money, money! ‘Mericans adore Thee,
Spending all our savings earned and only bills paying;
Credit cards and financing, interest compounding,
Which did, and is, will evermore unfree.

Money, money, money! Though our kids are blessings,
Though they will inherit ours, their futures may not be;
Fleeting Thou art, money, there is none for giving—
You sprouted wings and too soon flew: cha-ching!

Money, money, money! Dollar Almighty!
Sinful beings all strive for Thee in morn, and noon, and eve;
Money, money, money! Dollar Almighty!
god in whom we trust, yet this oughtn’t be.
