Once upon a time there lived an old miser manBy the name of Silas StingyHe carried all his money in a little black bo
xWhich was heavy as a rockWith a big padlockAll the little kids would shoutWhen Silas was about[Chorus:]Money, money, mo
ney bagsMoney, money, money bagsThere goes mingy StingyThere goes mingy StingyMoney, money, money bagsMoney, money, money
bagsThere goes mingy StingyThere goes mingy StingySilas didn't eat, which was just as wellHe would starve himself for a pe
nnyHe wore old clothes and he never washed'Cause soap cost a lotAnd the dirt kept him hotAll the little kids would shoutWh
en Silas was about[chorus]In the back of his headWas a voice that said'Someone will steal it allYou'll be lying in the g
utter with an empty boxThe thieves will be having a ball'[chorus]He bought a safe to put the box inAnd a house to put the
safe inAnd a watchdog on a chain to make quite sureAnd his face was very funnyWhen he counted up his moneyAnd he realized
he hadn't any more[chorus]
