| Notes |
Text: The man who is made of money / Need never be pleasant nor funny, / Nor handsome, nor winsome, nor good, / Nor with piety
deeply imbued. / He may go through the world as he pleases, / Caring not how he elbows and squeezes; / He may duty despise
or forget; / He may bluster and bully; and yet / Folks will say he's as sweet as honey-- / Because he is made of money.
