There's a bright pretty money in your purse; let it go.
There's a very special bill in your wallet; let it go.
It has a noble destiny that makes it very proud,
Take it out, let it shine, let it sing out loud,
Do not hold it, do not save it, you'll be happy that you gave it,
Let it go, let it go, let it go.
Let it join up with its brothers, let it go, let it go.
Let it join a thousand others, let it go, let it go.
It's not ordinary money but its signing with a crew
That will help us do a job that will help to see us through,
Do not hold it, do not save it, you'll be happy that you gave it,
Let it go, let it go, let it go.
You can work with your hand and your brain, that we know,
And we need you to work with might and main, that is so.
But our cause has need of money in these money needing times,
We need fifties, we need hundreds, we need dollars we need dimes.
Do not hold it, do not save it, you'll be happy that you gave it,
Empty out your pockets, let it go.
