[Kipps:] If I had money to burn
a hole in my pocket,
If I had money to burn
I'd go like a rocket,
down to the town,
without a stop.
Blow right in to the music shop
and a buy me a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, janga,
Buy me a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, janga,
buy me a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, janga,
that's what I would do.
If I had all
that money could buy
if I had all that money could buy,
if I had all that money could buy,
I'd buy me a banjo,
Ring dang, clatter janga, ring a danga,
play on a banjo,
clatter, janga night and day,
on a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, danga
that's what I would do!

[Kipps:] If I had money to burn
[Men:] a hole in my pocket,
[Kipps:] If I had money to burn
[Men:] I'd go like a rocket
[Kipps:] Down to the town,
without a stop,
blow right into the music shop,
and buy me a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, danga,
buy me a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, danga,
Buy me a banjo,
clatter, janga, ringa, dang,
That's what I would do.

[Kipps:] If I had money to burn,
I'd be in a hurry,
If I had money to burn,
I'd take me to Surrey.
Down to the Folkestone Music store,
drive it slap thro' the old front door.

And buy me a banjo
buy me a banjo,
buy me a banjo
that's what I would do.

[All:] Bank, bank,
bank, bank, bank, bank, bank,
bank, bank, bank, bank, bank,
bankabank, bankabank,

Bank, bank, bank, bank,
Bank, bank, bank de bank,

Bank, bank, bank, bank,
Bank de bank, bank, bank, bank.

[Male Chorus:] Bank, bank, bank,
Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank,
Bank, bank, bank, bank,
bank, bank, bank, bank, bank,
bank, bank, bank, bank, bank,
bank, bank, bank.
Blank, blank, blank,

[spoken:] Down to the town,
to buy a banjo,
bring on the girls,
and away we go!

[All:] Buy me a banjo,
Buy me a banjo,
da da da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da

[Kipps and Men:] If I had
money to burn,
a hole in my pocket,
If I had money to burn
I'd go like a rocket,
down to the town,
without a stop.
Blow right in to the music shop
and buy me a banjo,
buy me a banjo,
buy me a banjo,
That's what I would do!
Play on a banjo!
Play on a banjo,
night and day on a banjo
that's what I'd do!
