We were so happy
Things worked out better than we had planned Capital from boy, woman and man We were like ink and paper Numbers on a calculator Knew arithmetic so well Working overtime completed what was assigned We had to multiply ourselves
A bouncing little baby A shiny copper penny
And he spent himself Would not listen to us But when he lost his appetite He lost his weight in friends
Baby became a fat nickel so fast Then came puberty Exponentially Soon our boy became a million
People loved him so And helped him to grow Everyone knew the thing that was best Of course, he must invest
A penny won't do, no (x 4)
But he made us proud He made us rich And how were we to know He's counterfeit
Now everything's ruined, yeah (x 8)
