Verse 1:

Gone are my blues,
And gone are my tears;
I've got good news
To shout in your ears.
The silver dollar has returned to the fold,
With silver you can turn your dreams to gold.

Chorus:

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 bread line 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!

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

Bad times be gone,
Hello, happy day!
Folks, from now on,
We'll all be okay.
Let's all be thankful that we've weathered the crash,
From now on let's all sing a song of cash.

[Chorus]

Verse:

(Ginger Rogers:) 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!

Chorus 1:

(Rogers:) 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 bread line 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 around!

Chorus 2:

(Girls:) 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!
Let's go, we're in the money, look up, the sky is sunny,
Old man Depression, you are through, you done us wrong!
We never see a headline 'bout a bread line 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!
