This seems kind of appropriate right now. I learned this from a friend when I was about 19 or 20. I have been playing it for friends and family for years.
Artist picture
I am a Rock Musician. I just play 'em like I hear 'em. With The Hipwaiters sound something like everybody. I know that is hardly a fair comparison. So... Alt, P
On my tunes it is usually me playing everything because, it is hard to find the time to bring in other people while I am in the writing process. So what you get is me programming drum tracks, then playing the bass, guitars, and keys, and finally the vocals and backing vocals.

Story behind the song
I am not sure where this came from. I learned it from a friend at school when I was 19 or 20. I have played it for fun at parties or for family and friends mostly on piano or acoustic guitar. In any case I've been playing it most of my life and I think its probably an old dixieland tune from the early nineteen hundreds. Say 1915 or so.
Lyrics
Don't want no huggin' Don't want no kissin' Don't want no gal to call me Honey Don't want my name in the hall of fame Just want a big fat pile o Money So gimme' that all mighty dollar for that lettuce let me holler Give me buckets full of ducats Let me walk around and waller In mazooma, el dinero Wanna' be a millionaireo Give me money money money money money I want that green ammunition Thats the stuff for which I'm wishin' Fill my closets with deposits I'm a demon at addition Give me shekels give pesos Let me see their smiling faces Give me money money money money money I wanna get me a suit That's made outa' loot And whistle the warin' Of the Green I got that monetaryitis Like to be just like King Midas Got that golden touch Is what I mean Gimme the old Double Eagle Any sum that is a legal and finically substantial Any sum I can inveigle Let me live in regal splendor With that lovin' legal tender Gimme money money money money money Oh I'm a green back collector I'm a paper bill inspector I'm a savage for the cabbage Man to me it's golden nectar Pour that filthy lucre on me Spread them lovin' germs upon me Gimme money money money money money Yea let me roll around upon it Stuff those bank rags in my bonnet Gimme any kind just so s Some president's got his picture on it Lemme Lemme feel it lemme hold it Lemme just sit there and fold it Gimme money money money money money I want a carload of cash The kind I can stash A vat full of bodiodoe Ya know yer banker never lets it No matter 'bout wheres ya gets it Have ya got it boy That's all he wants to know So gimme treasure I can measure Thats my idea of pleasure Gimme wampum gilded geezers Lemme count em at my leasure Lemme live in regal splendor With that lovin' legal tender Gimme money money money money money And if they ever plant trees of E plurubus unum I'm gonna be the guy they send out to prune em Gimme money money money money money Gimme money money money money money (add infinitum) And thats a lota summoleyans folks... thats right Gimme money money money money money (repeat) You got it ... I want it Gimme money money money money money (repeat fade=end)
