[8-Bit Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] There was treasure in the mansion. There were airplanes in the sky. Launchpad somehow kept on crashing. Still, the bastard couldn't die. Huey, Dewey, Louie followed. Every map could start a quest. But there was one thing in DuckTales That I wanted more than rest. [Pre-Chorus] Past the diamonds. Past the gold. Past adventures yet untold. There was one enormous building Full of everything he owned. [Chorus] I WANNA GO SWIMMIN' IN MONEY! Dive into a mountain of gold! Kick through a sea full of dollars! Like Scrooge McDuck when I get old! Climb to the top of the Money Bin! Take one breath and let it fly! I WANNA GO SWIMMIN' IN MONEY! CANNONBALL FROM TWENTY FEET HIGH! [8-Bit Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Scrooge would climb up to the railing. Then he'd leap without a care. Disappear beneath the money. Then come swimming through somewhere. Coins behaved exactly like water. Gold would splash from side to side. And not one kid watching questioned How the fuck that duck could dive. [Pre-Chorus] Didn't matter. Made perfect sense. Gravity was no defense. If a cartoon duck could swim there, Then obviously so could I. [Chorus] I WANNA GO SWIMMIN' IN MONEY! Dive into a mountain of gold! Kick through a sea full of dollars! Like Scrooge McDuck when I get old! Climb to the top of the Money Bin! Take one breath and let it fly! I WANNA GO SWIMMIN' IN MONEY! CANNONBALL FROM TWENTY FEET HIGH! [8-Bit Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Then you grow up. Learn some physics. Learn what metal actually does. Coins don't move aside like water. That's not remotely how this works. Dive headfirst into a fortune, Thinking you'll come swimming through, And instead of being Scrooge McDuck, The ambulance is coming for you. [Pre-Chorus] Broken neck. Shattered spine. Congratulations. Now you're rich and paralyzed. Turns out swimming through a Money Bin Was one gigantic fucking lie. [Chorus] STILL WANNA GO SWIMMIN' IN MONEY! I don't care what physics say! Give me one enormous Money Bin! I'll fucking figure out a way! Maybe don't dive from the railing. Maybe start from somewhere low. But if I ever get that chance, YOU BET YOUR ASS I'M GONNA GO! [Bridge] Because somewhere in my head I'm still staring at that screen. Watching gold become an ocean Like the greatest thing I'd seen. Maybe growing up means knowing Coins would break you when you land. But growing up does not require Giving up the fucking plan. [Final Chorus] I WANNA GO SWIMMIN' IN MONEY! Let the golden ocean roll! Dive beneath a million dollars! Come back up and yell for more! Physics says I'll break my body. Common sense says don't even try. But if Scrooge can swim through money... SO. CAN. I. [8-Bit Victory Outro]
