We're in the money
We're in the money
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along

We're in the money
The skies are sunny
Old man depression, you are through
You done us wrong!

We never see a headline
'Bout a breadline, today
And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye

We're in the money
Come, on my honey,
Let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling along

As performed by GINGER ROGERS & CHORUS
in the film "Gold Diggers Of 1933":


GINGER:
Gone are my blues and gone are my tears
I've got good news to shout in your ears
The long lost Dollar has come back to the fold
With silver you can turn your dreams to gold, oh

We're in the money
We're in the money
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along

We're in the money
The sky is sunny
Old man depression, you are through
You done us wrong, oh

We never see a headline
'Bout a breadline today
And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye

Oh-oh, we're in the money
Come, on my honey,
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling around

ALL:
Oh boy, we're in the money
I'll say we're in the money
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along

And so we're in the money
Look up, the skies are sunny
Old man depression, you are through
You done us wrong

We never see a headline
'Bout a breadline, today
And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye

We're in the money
Come, on my honey
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along

(Orchestral Break)

GINGER: (Repeats the lyrics in pig-latin/backslang, as follows)
Er'way in-hay the oney-may
Er'way in-hay the oney-may
Er'way ot-gay a-lay ot-lay of-way
Ut-way it-way akes-tay o-tay et-gay a-lay-ong-lay

Er'way in-hay the oney-may, etc...........

We're in the money, oh-oh-oh
Come on my honey
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling around

As recorded by THE BOSWELL SISTERS:


We're in the money
We're in the money
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along

We're in the money
The skies are sunny
Old man depression, you are through
You done us wrong

We never see a headline
'Bout a breadline today
And when we see the landlord
We know that we can pay, ooh

We're in the money
Come, on my honey
Let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling right along

Gone are my blues, gone are my tears
I've got good news to shout right in your ears
The Silver Dollar has come back to the fold
With silver you can turn your, your dreams to gold

We've got a lot of what it takes to get along, yea
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along, yea

What a lot of love, woh-oh-oh-oh
Old man depression you done us wrong, yea-eah
Old man depression you done us wrong, yea-eah

What a lot of love, woh-oh-oh-oh
We never see a headline 'bout a breadline
In the papers today
When we see the landlord, we don't worry
We know that we can pay

It's so happy, all the trouble's gone
Hear us singing a happy song
Just shout all day long
We're in the money now

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Doctor, lawyer, indian chief
They're all in the money now
