“Get the Money (Uncle Scrooge’s Money)” is a funky blues dance tune written and performed by Edwin Starr for Mousercise.
The song is about Carl Barks' characters, the Beagle Boys, who appeared in his comics as villians or their henchmen, frequently on a heist to steal from wealthy Scrooge McDuck.
[Intro: Beagle Boys]
Get the money, we gotta get the money
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money (Shhhh)
Get the money, we gotta get the money (Shhhh)
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money
[Verse 1: Edwin Starr]
They've got one thought on their minds
And it haunts them all the time
No matter how they try, they always fail
But it's just as well
'Cause Uncle Scrooge is a careful man
He's always one step ahead of their plan
[Chorus: Edwin Starr]
But they keep running, crawling, slipping and falling
Trying to get Uncle Scrooge's money
Running, crawling, slipping and falling
Always trying to get Uncle Scrooge's money
[Post-Chorus: Beagle Boys]
Get the money, we gotta get the money
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money (Shhhh)
Get the money, we gotta get the money (Shhhh)
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money
[Bridge: Edwin Starr]
Oh, no, the money's not under his bed
And it's not in the pillow that's under his head
Sometimes he hides it so well
He has to stop and think
But the Beagle Boys know for sure
It's not in the bank
[Chorus: Edwin Starr]
But they keep running, crawling, slipping and falling
Trying to get Uncle Scrooge's money
Running, crawling, slipping and falling
Always trying to get Uncle Scrooge's money
[Post-Chorus: Beagle Boys]
Get the money, we gotta get the money
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money (Shhhh)
Get the money, we gotta get the money (Shhhh)
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money
[Verse 2: Edwin Starr]
There's not a day that goes by
That they don't try
Some new master plan
Even though they fail again and again
But with dollar signs still in their eyes
They give it another try
[Chorus: Edwin Starr]
And they keep running, crawling, slipping and falling
Trying to get Uncle Scrooge's money
Running, crawling, slipping and falling
Always trying to get Uncle Scrooge's money
[Post-Chorus: Beagle Boys]
Get the money, we gotta get the money
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money (Shhhh)
Get the money, we gotta get the money (Shhhh)
Get the money, Uncle Scrooge's money
[Outro: Beagle Boys]
Get the money...
*Sirens*
Oh, oh, it's the police
We gotta get out of here
I told you to be quiet
Let's get out of here
Get off my foot
