Coz I'm telling you my darling I'm about to fuckin walk

I will not be a widow while my husband’s still alive

And I won't be made dependant on the government to survive

We can't afford to gamble we can't afford to bet

We're not going to win the lotto, I'm not going to give you head

Understand something, my darling, you are a father now

And we have to teach our children how to build a true cash cow

We have a role, the both of us, to stick to a basic plan

Of moving forward mutually and having cash in hand
