[Verse 1]
A
Before the great recession
F#m
I built luxary apartments
D
Schools and firestations
A
And some government departments
A
I didn't have a penny
F#m
But the banks were more than willing
D
To throw me o'er the counter
A
An excess of eighty million
[Hook]
E
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A
Whack for the daddy, oh
D
See how the money grows
A D A
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 2]
A
I lay in bed 'till lunchtime
F#m
Because the work was subcontracted
D
Then me and the bank manager
A
Socialised and interacted
A
They gave me all this money
F#m
And they told me, "not to worry"
D
And about the ol' repayments
A
Sure there wasn't any hurry
[Hook]
E
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A
Whack for the daddy, oh
D
See how the money grows
A D A
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 3]
A
I splashed out piles of Euros
F#m
Paying Poles and Lithuanians
D
Slovakians and Slovenians
A
And some Turks and some Romanians
A
And with the millions that were left
F#m
I bought a helicopter
D
And like a government high-flyer
A
Sure the bloody door fell off
[Hook]
E
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A
Whack for the daddy, oh
D
See how the money grows
A D A
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 4]
A
I bought a multi-story
F#m
In the south part of Croatia
D
Invested, then, in factories
A
In Europe and in Asia
A
And a fourteen-bedorom villia
F#m
In the fair Canary Islands
D
Went on exotic cruises
A
To Malaysia and to Thailand
[Hook]
E
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A
Whack for the daddy, oh
D
See how the money grows
A D A
There's whiskey in the jar
[Verse 5]
A#
Well then, the bank, they rang me
Gm
And they told me they were worried
D#
Could I ever pay the money back?
A#
T'would be better if I'd hurried
A#
Their brainy chief executive
Gm
Needed millions for his wages
D#
Was I gonna pay it all back now
A#
Or pay it off in stages?
[Hook]
F
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
A#
Whack for the daddy, oh
D#
Where did the money go?
A# D# A#
No whiskey in the jar
[Verse 6]
A#
Well, I made a secret phone call
Gm
But only to discover
D#
That the whiz-kids in the bank
A#
Were lending money to each other
A#
They had to make the books look good
Gm
Though profits, they were fallin'
D#
So they lent each other millions
A#
Before the auditor come callin'
[Hook]
F
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A#
Whack for the daddy, oh
D#
Where did the money go?
A# D# A#
No whiskey in the jar
[Verse 7]
A#
Now me and RTD
Gm
Are both out here in Lanzarote
D#
The fittings are gold-plated
A#
And the floors are terracotta
A#
We're sittin' reminiscin'
Gm
About the great depression
D#
And we'll celebrate out here, tonight
A#
With a good recession session
[Hook]
F
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A#
Whack for the daddy, oh
D#
See how the money grows
A# D# A#
Still whiskey in the jar
[Outro]
F
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
A#
Whack for the daddy, oh
D#
See how the money grows
A# D# A#
Still whiskey in the jar!
A#
Woo!
