[Verse]
Dm Dm/A C/G C/E
Once upon a time, there lived an old miser man
Dm F G Em
By the name of Silas Stingy
Dm Am G C
He carried all his money in a little black box,
Dm Bb C Am
Which was heavy as a rock with a big padlock
Bb G Am F
All the little kids would shout when Silas was about
[Chorus]
Em F Gm Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags
Dm C Bb Am F Bb Am G Dm/F Dm
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy
Em F Gm Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags
Dm C Am F Bb Am G F/A Dm/F
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy
[Verse]
Dm Dm/A C/G C/E
Silas didn't eat, which was just as well
Dm F G Em
He would starve himself for a penny
Dm Am G C
He wore old clothes and he never washed
Dm Bb C Am
'Cause soap cost a lot
Bb G Am F
And the dirt kept him hot All the little kids would shout When Silas was about
[Chorus]

Money money money bags, money money money bags

There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy

In the back of his head was a voice that said,
G5 F#5 F5 E5 Eb5 D5 Bb5
"Someone will steal it all
D5 D5 C#5 D5 D5 C#5 D5 D5 C#5 D5 D5 C#5
He'll be lying in the gutter with an empty box,
G5 F#5 F5 E5 Eb5 D5 C5
The thieves will be having a ball"
[Verse]
Dm A Bb F
He bought a safe to put the box in and a house to put the safe in
Gm Dm Am
And a watchdog on a chain to make quite sure
Bb F Gm Dm
And his face was very funny when he counted up his money
Bb Am
And he realized he hadn't any more
[Chorus]
Em F Gm Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags
Dm C Bb Am F Bb Am G Dm/F Dm
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy
Em F Gm Am
Money money money bags, money money money bags
Dm C Am F Bb Am G F/A Dm/F
There goes mingy Stingy, there goes mingy Stin-gy
Bb Am G A D
There goes mingy Stingy
