I Hate Money
Rewritten this fun little ditty a few times over the years. Here's the latest. Needs to be resung; some of the silly woo-hoo-hoo's need to be taken out as I left them out of the lyric. I must've been in one of my silly moods when I sang it last night, but you get the picture. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I HATE MONEY
[Verse 1]
Tho’ I love the smell of it
And the way it feels in my hands
I can’t stand the thought of it
When I’m losin’ my pants
[Chorus]
I hate money
I hate money
I hate money, money I don’t have
[Verse 2]
There’s just not enough of it
To make the world go around
The mighty men have most of it
Won’t find it in the Lost and Found
[Chorus]
I hate money
I hate money
I hate money, money I don’t have
[Verse 3]
Now, it’s Ramen noodles for breakfast
And it’s Ramen noodles for lunch
And it’s Ramen noodles for supper
Thank goodness I can’t afford brunch!
[Chorus]
I hate money
I hate money
I hate money, money I don’t have
[Verse 1 Repeats]
Tho’ I love the smell of it
And the way it feels in my hands
I can’t stand the thought of it
When I’m losin’ my pants
[Chorus 2x]
I hate money
I hate money
I hate money, money I don’t have
I hate money
I hate money
I hate money, money I don’t have!

First fun song I think I've heard that says hate so many times hahaha
Love the whole song and concept especially liked this:
There’s just not enough of it
To make the world go around
The mighty men have most of it
Won’t find it in the Lost and Found
Keep em coming Renee!

I think the woo hoos work too, Renee. Yeah they’re kind of silly, but I think that’s part of the charm, they add to the playfulness of the song. I especially like the times when you hold out the hoooooo with that little vibrato haha. Great song and hilarious / relatable commentary!2

@BeatlesFan64 Thank you SO much! Was just playing around with it a moment ago, yeah, I guess the woo-hoos can stay for now unless I'm playing if for a live audience (which is rare) and they want to echo "I hate money".
Thank you for your input; really helps a lot!
