Well, there's nothin' to some ladies like money in your hand
Love is some poetic thing to see
Let the ladies have my money and let the devil take his turn
When I have money to burn, when I have money to burn

Well, now if I had a nickel for every broken promise
That I have made in my life
Time after time I never seem to learn
I would have money to burn, I would have money to burn

Lies and broken promises flow gently from the tongue
And I wish I had a nickel for every one
Sign yours most sincerely and send to whom it may concern
I would have money to burn, I would have money to burn

Well, if I had a nickel for every precious moment
That I had spent like water day by day
Like some men made of mud there's a far road that I turn
I would have money to burn, I would have money to burn

Well, there's nothin' to some ladies like money in your hand
Love is some poetic thing to see
Let the ladies have my money and let the devil take his turn
When I have money to burn, when I have money to burn
When I have money to burn, when I have money to burn
