A dirty rockin' song with an almost biblical choir section, “Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is” is about putting actions behind your words. Sung in fluent Mancunian.
[Verse 1]
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mamma says that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mamma says that you was real
Ready or not, come what may
Your bets are going down for Judgement Day
So put yer money in yer mouth
And your hands right upon the wheel
[Verse 2]
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer pappa says that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer pappa says that you was real
Ready or not and come what may
You betcha going down on Judgement Day
So put yer money in yer mouth
And your hands right up on the wheel
[Verse 3]
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer momma said that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer momma said that you was real
Ready or not and come what may
The bets are going down for Judgement Day
So put yer money in yer mouth
And your hands right up on the wheel
[Outro]
Watch out
Hey, watch out
W-w-w-w-w-watch out
Hey, watch out
Hey

This song was made by a coincidence when we did the demo recordings. We liked the energy in it. But I would have wanted to work more with the lyrics, it’s just the same words being repeated over and over.
