Put the money in the hole
Put the money in the hole
Stop and wonder where the green goes
While we're headin' in the red
Make a debit on the credit card
30 days to pay the bill
It's like money down a hole
So put yer money in the hole
 
First job was a gas boy
Check the tires, check the oil, get the window
I'd freeze my feet and burn my fingers
Three cars at a time
Nightmares that the till was gone
And somebody robbed the safe
So I double locked the cash box
And dumped the twenties down the hole
 
I put the money in the hole
Kept some for myself
$3.35 an hour
Barely paid for my gas
That I bought from the boss man
Had to put it in myself
Then write a ticket to the payroll
'cause my money's down the hole
 
Put the chicken on the griddle
Let me hear you on the fiddle
Stack em up on the spindle
With John Denver in the middle
Now the sun's going down
So we drive into town
To put our money in the hole, 
Yeah all our money in the hole
 
So put the money in the hole
Put the money in the hole
Stop and wonder where the green goes
While we're headin' in the red
Make a debit on the credit card
30 days to pay the bill
It's like money down a hole
So put yer money in the hole
 
When I save up the money
If I start savin' money
I'm gonna buy me a big house
And in the wall hide a safe
Behind a picture and a panel
With the electric eye
Three buttons and a booby trap
Protect the money in the hole
 
Gonna buy me a boat
That I hope don't sink
When I load it full-a records
Barbecue on my truck
Satellite and a cellphone
And a trailer for my trash
And throw my money down a hole
Yeah put the money in the hole
 
So put the money in the hole
Put the money in the hole
Stop and wonder where the green goes
While we're headin' in the red
Make a debit on the credit card
30 days to pay the bill
It's like money down a hole
So put yer money in the hole
 
 
Gonna sell all my stuff
Get it down to the bare enough
Take a trip around the world
Free my mind and my head
Though I know when I come back
I'll wanna sleep in a bed
With Mr. Coffee and a video
To put the money in a hole
 
Alternate verses:
 
If the bull jumped the fence
It’d make more sense
Why the girl’s got a green eye
‘stead-a brown like her dad
Got made like a spade
Pulled the covers and the shades
and the put the money in the hole 
Yeah put the money in the hole
 
Wait a minute baby, think
With Zamboni on the rink
We can make a flying W
Or she can skate a figure 8
Zamboni on the ice
No, baby, think twice
Just put the money in the hole
Oh, put the money in the hole
