Smarty Party! I shook my travel trousers. They formed a band. Dollars in America, dollars in Canada too, Different kinds of dollars, though the name is nothing new. Mexico has pesos, Brazil has the real, My pocket has a button. That's not a very good deal! What have you got? Jingle, jingle! What have you got? Fold and flap! Money has a different name As we travel round the map! Jingle, jingle, jingle, fold and flap, flap, flap, Put a little rhythm, rhythm in your travel cap! Euros in France and Spain, and Germany as well, The United Kingdom uses pounds, the coins have tales to tell. Switzerland has francs, South Africa the rand, My button wants a solo in the pocket-money band! What have you got? Jingle, jingle! What have you got? Fold and flap! Money has a different name As we travel round the map! Jingle, jingle, jingle, fold and flap, flap, flap, Put a little rhythm, rhythm in your travel cap! Yen in Japan, rupees in India, Won in South Korea, sing the names and here we are! Dollars in Australia, more names everywhere, My button found a paper clip. They're starting up a pair! A number on a banknote doesn't tell the whole tale, Different kinds of money use a different counting scale. Exchange rates change, so check before you pay, And a kindness costs no money, you can give one every day. Jingle, jingle, jingle, fold and flap, flap, flap, Put a little rhythm, rhythm in your travel cap! Names around the world, now give the band a hand! The button isn't money. But my trousers would miss it. Smarty Party Songs! Like, subscribe, PARTY!
