Lyrics

Thank you to Johnathan Neiswinger for this heartstring-tugging backing track. So beautiful!!

Where's my pile of cash?
Wasn't this supposed to be a money grab?
I still remember when
I hatched a secret plan to be a millionaire
writing parodies

Even though, I had absolutely no idea at all,
how writing silly songs could ever turn a buck
Still I went with it
intent on horning in on Tony’s audience

Where's my pile of cash?
After all, I spent four whole years on this thing
Now folks are asking, what would Maury think?
I had planned to get rich off these songs
where'd I go wrong?

I still don't understand
how my name isn’t on the Walk of Fame
I know that I did my best
exploiting Tony’s name
for my financial gain

And now that they’ve closed the case
And now that I’ve learned my place
a song and dance
with empty hands

Where's my pile of cash?

A parody of Billy Joel, "Where's the Orchestra?"

    I am sitting here again today, working on a Saturday, and just absolutely loving this jingle again. This is a masterpiece!! I cannot say it enough. It inspires me to try and write better jingles. And that piano, man. Just beautiful all the way around!!!
