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!

    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

    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!
  • @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!
