MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN

MY FATHER MAKES BOOKS IN THE CORNER;
MY MOTHER MAKES TWO DOLLAR GIN;
MY SISTER MAKES LOVE FOR FIVE DOLLARS, FIVE DOLLARS,
MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN.

CHORUS:
ROLLS IN, ROLLS IN, MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN, ROLLS IN;
ROLLS IN, ROLLS IN, MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN,

MY BROTHER'S A POOR MISSIONARY;
HE SAVES FALLEN WOMEN FROM SIN;
HE'LL SAVE YOU A BLOND FOR FIVE DOLLARS, FIVE DOLLARS
MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN.

CHORUS:

MY GRANDMOTHER MAKES PROPHYLACTICS;
SHE PUNCTURES EACH ONE WITH A PIN;
MY GRANDFATHER DOES CHEAP ABORTIONS,
MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN,

CHORUS:

THE KAPPAS ARE LOVELY HOUSEKEEPERS;
AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ALL DIM,
THEY'LL HANG A RED LIGHT IN THE WINDOW,
MY GOD HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN,

CHORUS:
