And when it’s half over we go out to sup.

So pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!

So pleasant it is to have money.

The best of the tables and best of the fare—

And as for the others, the devil may care;

It isn’t our fault if they dare not afford

To sup like a prince and be drunk as a lord.

So pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!

So pleasant it is to have money.
