Lyrics

I wanna go down to the bank and get a 7 dollar bill
I wanna get my hands on a 7 dollar bill
Dug in the cushions of the couch, checked the floor of the car
Saved my change when I could have bought a candy bar
Now I got 700 pennies in a jar
I wanna go down to the bank and get a 7 dollar bill

Dad says there's no such thing as a 7 dollar bill
and it's illegal to go print your own 7 dollar bills
says he'll give me 7 singles for an A in every class
or a five and two ones if I go and cut the grass
or 26 (28!) quarters - I did the math too fast
But alas there's no such thing as a 7 dollar bill

Well, the country would see such revelry
if I could change the currency
All those folks in high finance
would rush out into the streets and dance

Whose historic face should we put on a 7 dollar bill?
Which president would be on a 7 dollar bill?
What about one of those guys who never made it big?
How about Millard Fillmore?
I heard he was a Whig
I got 70 dimes in a ceramic pig
for Millard Fillmore or Zack Taylor on a 7 dollar bill

I'd love to see my face on a 7 dollar bill
My own smiling face on a 7 dollar bill
Mom paid me for my chores so she didn't have to nag
Didn't go out with my friends they thought I was a drag
I got a 140 nickels in a plastic bag
I'd love to see my face on a 7 dollar bill
