No Money To Burn lyrics - Deep Purple

I hear a blackbird sing

I feel a scorpion sting

Whatever gets to me first

It's what it is, man, it could be worse

Dig up a treasure chest

Step in a hornets' nest

Whatever gets to me first

Well, that's alright, I've had worse

I got no money

I got no cash

I got no moolah

I got no stash

Lost my deposit

I never learn

I got no money to burn

I live my life on the run

Under a burning sun

A man could die of thirst

Now, that's a curse

Couldn't be much worse

I got no money

I got no cash

I got no moolah

I got no stash

Lost my deposit

I never learn

I got no money to burn

I hear a church bell ring

Commit a cardinal sin

Whatever gets to me first

Well that's all right, it could be worse
