"The Gold Diggers' Song (We're in the Money)" is a song from the 1933 Warner Bros. film Gold Diggers of 1933, sung in the opening sequence by Ginger Rogers and chorus. The entire song is never performed in the 1933 movie, though it introduces the film in the opening scene (wherein the performance is busted up by the police). Later in the movie, the tune is heard off stage in rehearsal as the director continues a discussion on camera about other matters.
Lyrics[]
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
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 breadline today
And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye
Oh-oh,
We're in the money
Come, on my honey,
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling around
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
And so we're in the money
Look up, the skies are sunny
Old man depression, you are through
You done us wrong, oh
We never see a headline
'Bout a breadline, 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 along
Er'way in-hay the oney-may
Er'way in-hay the oney-may
Er'way ot-gay a-lay ot-lay of-way
Ut-way it-way akes-tay o-tay et-gay a-lay-ong-lay
Er'way in-hay the oney-may
We're in the money, oh-oh-oh
Come on my honey
Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling around
