I assume some of you can relate to the financial struggle I dealt with for much of my working life. No matter how much I earned, somehow the money always seemed to disappear before the end of the month. There were certainly times when that weighed heavily on me. I still remember that feeling - working hard, bringing home the paycheck, and wondering where it all went. So, I thought it was worth turning that familiar struggle into a song.

“Money, Money” is a playful, slightly sarcastic look at the never-ending battle with cash, bills, bucks and dough.


Money, Money

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse ]
I work nine to five
Just to make ends meet
Tried working overtime
Just to stay on my feet

[Verse ]
I bring home every dollar
I work hard every week
But my money disappears
As if my wallet's got a leak

[Chorus]
Money, money… where did you go?
I just can't say, I don't know
My wallet was full just yesterday
I must have spent it all in one day

Money, money… guess I spent it too fast
Chasing dreams I hoped would last
Where's my cash, where's my dough?
Money, money… where did you go?

[Break]

[Verse ]
When I was young, a dollar
Could buy a lot more
Now a hundred disappears
Before I leave the store

[Verse ]
You trade the little house
For one with more room
Then wonder where your paycheck goes
It disappears so soon

[Chorus]
Money, money… where did you go?
I just can't say, I don't know
My wallet was full just yesterday
I must have spent it all in one day

Money, money… guess I spent it too fast
Chasing dreams I hoped would last
Where's my cash, where's my dough?
Money, money… where did you go?

[Bridge]
A fiver here, a tenner there
Twenty bucks at the door
A little bread for this and that
And somehow there ain't more

You swear you'll keep a little back
The next time that you get paid
But money has a funny way
Of disappearing anyway

[Interlude]

[Final Chorus]
Money, money… where did you go?
I just can't say, I don't know
My wallet was full just yesterday
I must have spent it all in one day

Money, money… guess I spent it too fast
Chasing dreams I hoped would last
Where's my cash, where's my dough?
Money, money… where did you go?

[Outro]
Where's my cash?
Where's my dough?
Where'd all my money go?
Money, money...
I don't know
