More Money Song

Not the best, but had a couple of lines I liked

To the tune of MONEY MONEY MONEY by ABBA

We work all night we work all day, to pay the bills we have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there doesn't seem to be cash flow in the eco-no-my
That's quite bad
And I wish I were a man
With Fred Goodwin's pension plan
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd re-ti-re and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In Fred Goodwin's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In Sir Goodwin's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things we can do
If we print a little money
We can be rich too

A man like Fred is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
The toe-rag
The bastard didn't work for free, now there's no money left for me
That's real bad
Now I must leave, I have to go
To the Royal Mint to print some dough
And have a word with Mervyn King, to make him cast some more ker-ching (/bling)

Money, money, money
Printing money
Just to save the world
Money, money money
Printing money
Save the bankers' world
Aha-ahaaa
We would not be so blue
If we printed some more money
More for me and you.

I do believe this song is the opener of this week's NewsRevue.

Actually, it had a rewrite

We work all night we work all day, to pay the bills we have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there doesn't seem to be cash flow in the eco-no-my
That's quite bad
And I wish I were a man
With Fred Goodwin's pension plan
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd re-ti-re and have a ball

Money, money, money
There's no money
In the whole wide world
Gotta print some money
Listen, sonny
Or the banks will fold
Aha-ahaaa
All the things we can do
If we print a lot of money
The banks might pull through

We used to have a lot of gold, which Gordon Brown then went and sold
The toe-rag
I went to see the Treasury, but the great vault was ingot free
That's too bad
Now I must leave, I have to go
To the Royal Mint to print some dough
And have a word with Mervyn King, to make him cast some more kerching! (/bling)

Money, money, money
Print more money
Stop the credit crunch
Money, money money
Print some money
And I'll buy you lunch
Aha-ahaaa
Could get a meal or two
If we printed some more money
Get something to chew

Money, money, money
Print more money
To escape this mess
Gotta print more money
Come here, honey
Where's that printing press?
Aha-ahaaa
We would not be so blue
If we printed some more money
More for me and you

More for me and you

Hopefully it'll do better than my sketch

I actually preferred some other songs I sent to this one, but not complaining - just funny how it's often the way.
