ROom for a Blade that spares no Gold, to purchase Recreation Who two and twenty years has told and is in full Possession: But i'le the mony spend but i'le the mony spend 'tis i'le let fly the Treasure I'le the Mony spend, i'le the Mony spend for to procure my pleasure. In all my Gallantry I goe The Lasses still adore me For which if you'd the reason know my Father was born before me
'Twas he the mony got, 'twas he the mony got 'twas he heap'd up the Treasure, He the mony got he the mony got that shall procure my pleasure. Had I been born before my Dad I had not had a farthing But since he's left me all he had I'm gainer by the bargain. 'Twas he the mony got: 'twas he the mony got 'twas he was born before me He the Mony got he the Mony got, For which some Men adore me.
A good Estate in House and Land: he purchased for me dearly; He thrifty was and spar'd to spend drudg'd late and got up early, But i'le the mony spend, but i'le the mony spend 'tis ile let fly the Treasure I'le the mony spend I'le the mony spend For to procure my pleasure. My Grand-sire too, in leather clad at Plough and Cart did ply it, He pinch'd and spar'd and all he had my Father did enjoy it: But i'le the mony spend but i'le the mony spend I'le soon let fly the Treasure I'le the Mony spend, i'le the Mony spend, for to procure my pleasure. My Grandame she did card and spin and gather'd wool from Hedges And all to make my Father fine, and put him to board. wages, For they the mony got, for they the mony got 'twas they heap'd up the Treasure They the mony got, they the mony got, which must procure my pleasure. To London then they sent him strait where he my Mother wedded Who got together an Estate by things wherein they traded; But i'le the mony spend, i'le the mony spend 'tis i'le let fly the Treasue I'le the mony spend, i'le the mony spend, for to procure my pleasure. Happy for me that they did so for had they got no money, I had been wretched poor and low not worth a single penny 'Twas they the mony got, 'twas they the mony got 'twas they heap'd up the Treasure, They the mony got, they the mony got, which I will spend at leasure. What pains and cunning tricks have gai'nd by care and much advizing, In beauty and in Wine ile spend in carding and in dicing,
'Tis ile the mony spend, 'tis i'le the mony spend 'tis i'le let the fly the Treasure, I'le the mony spend, i'le the mony spend which shall increase my pleasure. At Play-houses and at Balls i'le be where I will court my Lasses My Gold and Silver shall be free To purchase still new faces There il'e the mony spend there i'le the mony spend there i'le let fly the Treasure I'le the mony spend, i'le the mony spend, for to procure my pleasure. In Hawking and in Hunting eke my time I will be spending And in all jovial places seek for such as there are tending There i'le the mony spend, there i'le the mony spend there i'le let fly the Treasure, I'le the mony spend, i'le the mony spend, For to procure my pleasure. For Recreation must be had, thought Gold and Silver buy it. There's nothing now shall make me sad no pleasure but il'e try it, For i'le the mony spend, For i'le the mony spend, 'tis i'le let fly the Treasure, I'le the Mony spend, i'le the mony spend, for to procure my pleasure. No matter for my Pedigree 'Tis like a many more Sir, I am Gallant and will be 'tis Money Men adore Sir But 'ile the Mony spend, but i'le the money spend 'Tis i'le let fly the Treasure, I'le the Mony spend, i'le the Mony spend for to procure my pleasure. My Gran-sire and my Father too longtime were Riches Raking, But then alass they little knew how soon i'd send it packing For they the Mony got, for they the Money got, 'twas they heap'd up the Treasure But i'le the Money spend, i'le the Money spend For to procure My pleasure.
