Keep your hands
In your pockets
Her father always said
Her father was a Yorkshire doctor
With a banker's head
The fact of life is this
Our kid
Tho' it may seem strange
The rich keep getting richer
By not carrying loose change
They bank their cash
They don't lend it
They don't lose it
They don't spend it
The rich keep getting richer
By not carrying loose change
Daddy was right
(He was)
But daddy was tight
(He was)
And she doesn't want to wind up
Like her father
So she reaches
In her pockets
Deep down
Inside her pockets
And buys everybody drinks with her loose change
Hold on tight
To your knickers
Her mother always said
Her mother was a married lady
With a virgin's head
The shrewdest gels
Still stay intact
Tho' today it's strange
They know their body's goldust
They don't treat it like loose change
They bank their fire
They don't spend it
They don't lose it
They don't lend it
They know their body's goldust
They don't treat it like loose change
Mummy was strong
(And how)
But Mummy was wrong
(A cow)
And she doesn't want to wind up
Like her mother
So she reaches
Out for lovers
Fills her nights
With lovers
And buys everybody love with her loose change
She was so tight
(No fizz)
Now she's all right
(She is)
And she isn't going to wind up
Like her parents
She reaches
In her pockets
Deep down
Inside her pockets
And buys everybody life with her loose change
