My God How the Money Rolls In
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
My father makes book on the corner,
My mother makes illicit gin,
My sister sells kisses to sailors,
My God, how the money rolls in.CHORUS:
Rolls in, rolls in,
My God how the money rolls in.
Rolls in, rolls in,
My God how the money rolls in.My mother's a bawdy house keeper,
Each night when the evening grows dim,
She hangs out a little red lantern,
My God, how the money rolls in.My cousin's a Harley Street surgeon,
With instruments long, sharp and thin,
He only does one operation,
My God, how the money rolls in.Uncle Joe is a registered plumber,
His business in holes and in tin,
He'll plug up your hole for a ten'er,
My God, how the money rolls in.My brother's a slum missionary,
He saves fallen women from sin,
He'll save you a blonde for a dollar,
My God, how the money rolls in.My Grandad sells cheap prophylactics,
He punctures the teats with a pin,
For Grandma gets rich from abortions,
My God, how the money rolls in.My sister's a barmaid in Sydney,
For a shilling she'll strip to the skin,
She's stripping from morning till midnight,
My God, how the money rolls in.My aunt keeps a girl's seminary,
Teaching young girls to begin
She doesn't say where they finish,
My God, how the money rolls in.We've started an old fashioned gin shop,
A regular palace of sin,
The principal girl is my grandma,
My God, how the money rolls in.Keywords: work, shady
