Kids Just Wanna Have Fund$ Words and Music by Bill Pere

They want a million dollars to to have some great adventure
On their Christmas list they ask for convertible debentures
They leave me broke, no money for my dentures
Kids just wanna have funds...Kids just wanna have.... funds

Moolah, dollars, greenbacks, rupees, sheckles, lira, francs,
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound.....or
(Who is that kid? I don't know...)

They go to the arcade to live the life nocturnal
With quarters upon quarters to play those games infernal
At dinner I say pass the bread, they pass the Wall Street Journal
Kids just wanna have funds...Kids just wanna have.... funds

Moolah, dollars, greenbacks, pengos, pesos, zloty, kroon
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound.....or
(Who is that kid? I don't know...)

They want a private jet and each day before they fly out
They have imported ice cream and a beverage, then they cry out
“Let's hit Toys ‘R Us, and do a leveraged buyout!”
Kids just wanna have funds...Kids just wanna have funds

Moolah, dollars, greenbacks, quetzal, colon, krona, baht
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound.....or
(Who is that kid? I don't know...)

They graduate from college with no debt, it's quite a feat
Enlightening their minds as my savings they deplete
They hand me their diploma and say “Dad, here's your receipt!”
Kids just wanna have funds...Kids just wanna have funds

Moolah, dollars, greenbacks, guilder, kopeck, drachma, lev
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound.....or
(Who is that kid? I don't know...)

Just a dollar, Just a dollar! (No! No!)
Just a dollar, Just a dollar! (No! No!)
Just a dollar, Just a dollar! (No! No!)
Kids just wanna have funds...Kids just wanna have funds
(There he is! Ask him! Okay wise guy, who are you?)
(The name is Bond... Savings Bond....)
