Silas Stingy Lyrics - Petra Haden Sings: The Who Sell Out - Petra Haden

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 

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 Stingy 

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 

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 Stingy 

In the back of his head 

Was a voice that said 

"Someone will steal it all 

You'll be lying in the gutter with an empty box 

The thieves will be havin' a ball" 

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 Stingy 

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 

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 Stingy
