Cheap Bills
To the tune of Sia’s Cheap Thrills

 

Come on, come on, turn the printing press on
It’s FOMC and I won’t be long
Gotta make some cash, put inflation on
It’s FOMC and I won't be long

Til’ I hit the fun-ding 
Hit the bank floor 
I got all I need
No I ain’t got cash
I ain’t got cash
But I got you Q/E

Baby I don't need dollar bills to get funds tonight
(I love cheap bills)
Baby I don't need dollar bills to get funds tonight
(I love cheap bills)
