Money burns a hole in your pocket Money burns a hole in your soul It's the devil if you've got it And some have nothing at all
There's a man up in Sydney And he had plenty to burn But he cheated on every rival And now a hard lesson he learns He's spending his time in prison And his only thought is survival
There's a lady from Coburn And she had nothing at all So she married a man who was wealthy But he wasn't on the ball She ran off with a traveling salesman Cos he was handsome and tall
You'd think we'd learn something About the heartache money can bring But we never stop trying to win it On X Lotto and pokies and things If we saved every penny we gambled We'd be living like kings
Yes money burns a hole in your pocket Money burns a hole in you soul I know it's the root of all evil But I'd still like a thousand or so.
