The Lyrics

Pelf, you know I need some money,
Gelt, yeah, a lot of money,
Wealth, I will collect my duns.

I have your dun, sir, and your dun, sir, you will pay.
I need to increase pelf in expeditious ways.
You say your gelt is gone--not my problem, that's sure.
You're out of time, so get in line; pay up or I'll be poor.

Gelt me, that's the plan, pay me in pounds,
Bucks, or yen, as long as I get my debt down.
Wealth will get my feet back on the ground.
Unappeased I be--pelf me.

I know the world has changed in monetary ways:
Our yuan-dependence leaves us in indebted haze.
Don't try to welsh on wealth, tell me debt's not secured.
Let's go and find a teller line through the bank's opened door.

Gelt me, that's the plan, pay me in pounds,
Bucks, or yen, as long as I get my debt down.
Wealth will get my feet back on the ground.
Unappeased I be--pelf me, gelt me, wealth me.
