Money where the mouth is, pennies on the eyes. | |
Yeah, times are hard and you find that you're in trouble | |
But it's hard to sympathize. | |
You talk up quite a story, you blow the bubble well. | |
Money where the mouth is, silver-tongue the sell. | |
Put up or shut up. | |
Cut price or cut-up. | |
Put up or shut up. | |
Money where the mouth is, will there be just desserts? | |
White-collar crime – yeah, the summing-up | |
Will reckon surely nobody got hurt. | |
Hey, offer jam tomorrow – the cash will do quite well. | |
With your fair shares for all, try to practice what you preach | |
When they ring that Lutine bell. | |
Hey, put your money where your mouth is | |
And hope the money talk will spring you from the cell. | |
We've heard the empty promises, the barely veiled threats; | |
We've yet to see the colour of the money now – | |
We've yet to see it… | |
Oh, but we'll get to see it, you bet. | |
Put up or shut up. | |
Cut price or cut-up. | |
Put the money where the mouth is. | |
Yeah, you copped for quite a lot, | |
But everything you got fell off the back end of the yacht. | |
You did your best to grease the machinery, | |
You shut us out of the talking shop: | |
The desks are empty when the buck full stops. | |
Hey, you put your money where your mouth was not. | |
You put your money where your mouth was not. | |
Well, put the money where the mouth is, | |
Snuffling in the trough. | |
Yeah, put your money where your mouth is, | |
With the pigs in the trough. | |
Where the mouth is, | |
Where the mouth is. |
Money where the mouth is, pennies on the eyes. | |
Yeah, times are hard and you find that you' re in trouble | |
But it' s hard to sympathize. | |
You talk up quite a story, you blow the bubble well. | |
Money where the mouth is, silvertongue the sell. | |
Put up or shut up. | |
Cut price or cutup. | |
Put up or shut up. | |
Money where the mouth is, will there be just desserts? | |
Whitecollar crime yeah, the summingup | |
Will reckon surely nobody got hurt. | |
Hey, offer jam tomorrow the cash will do quite well. | |
