Verse 1

A Before the great recession F#m I built luxary apartments D Schools and firestations A And some government departments A I didn't have a penny F#m But the banks were more than willing D To throw me o'er the counter A An excess of eighty million

Hook

E Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da A Whack for the daddy, oh D See how the money grows A D A There's whiskey in the jar

Verse 2

A I lay in bed 'till lunchtime F#m Because the work was subcontracted D Then me and the bank manager A Socialised and interacted A They gave me all this money F#m And they told me, "not to worry" D And about the ol' repayments A Sure there wasn't any hurry

Hook

E Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da A Whack for the daddy, oh D See how the money grows A D A There's whiskey in the jar

Verse 3

A I splashed out piles of Euros F#m Paying Poles and Lithuanians D Slovakians and Slovenians A And some Turks and some Romanians A And with the millions that were left F#m I bought a helicopter D And like a government high-flyer A Sure the bloody door fell off

Hook

E Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da A Whack for the daddy, oh D See how the money grows A D A There's whiskey in the jar

Verse 4

A I bought a multi-story F#m In the south part of Croatia D Invested, then, in factories A In Europe and in Asia A And a fourteen-bedorom villia F#m In the fair Canary Islands D Went on exotic cruises A To Malaysia and to Thailand

Hook

E Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da A Whack for the daddy, oh D See how the money grows A D A There's whiskey in the jar

Verse 5

A# Well then, the bank, they rang me Gm And they told me they were worried D# Could I ever pay the money back? A# T'would be better if I'd hurried A# Their brainy chief executive Gm Needed millions for his wages D# Was I gonna pay it all back now A# Or pay it off in stages?

Hook

F Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da Ha-ha-ha-ha! A# Whack for the daddy, oh D# Where did the money go? A# D# A# No whiskey in the jar

Verse 6

A# Well, I made a secret phone call Gm But only to discover D# That the whiz-kids in the bank A# Were lending money to each other A# They had to make the books look good Gm Though profits, they were fallin' D# So they lent each other millions A# Before the auditor come callin'

Hook

F Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da A# Whack for the daddy, oh D# Where did the money go? A# D# A# No whiskey in the jar

Verse 7

A# Now me and RTD Gm Are both out here in Lanzarote D# The fittings are gold-plated A# And the floors are terracotta A# We're sittin' reminiscin' Gm About the great depression D# And we'll celebrate out here, tonight A# With a good recession session
