The taste of money The smell of wealth Oh so tempting But it's bad for your health They're quick to tell you There's not enough We've got what we want Keep your hands off our stuff! You hear the warning You get the point Don't you dare to Put their nose out-ta joint They keep on saying There's not enough We've got what we want Keep your hands off our stuff!
