Once upon a time, there lived an old miser man
By the name of Silas Stingy
He carried all his money in a little black box,
Which was heavy as a rock with a big padlock
All the little kids would shout when Silas was about
Chorus:
Money money money bags, money money money bags
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stingy
Money money money bags, money money money bags
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy
Silas didn't eat, which was just as well
He would starve himself for a penny
He wore old clothes and he never washed
'Cause soap cost a lot
And the dirt kept him hot
All the little kids would shout
When Silas was about
chorus
In the back of his head was a voice that said,
"Someone will steal it all
He'll be lying in the gutter with an empty box,
The thieves will be having a ball"
chorus
He bought a safe to put the box in and
a house to put the safe in
And a watchdog on a chain to make quite sure
And his face was very funny when he counted up his money
And he realized he hadn't any more
chorus
There goes mingy Stingy
