We Won’t Be Happy ’Til We Get It Lyrics by Ray Bolger, Henry Calvin

Babes In Toyland (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

1961

{BARNABY]
I embezzle and I swindle
And I keep two sets of books
And the income tax collecting
Gives me dirty looks
Now the thought of Mary's money
Has a very strong appeal
So underhandedly I've planned
Another shady deal
And I won't be happy 'till I get it
Unwittingly, some papers she will sign
She'll never have a hint that in the finer print
Her inheritance is mine, all mine!
HAHAHA!
[GONZORGO]
We enjoy committing mayhem
For a monetary gain
And we specialize in plans
Which are completely inhumane
Now we're on our way to steal some sheep
And drown the boy at sea
And then directly we'll collect
A very handsome fee
And we won't be happy 'til we get it
In some lagoon a body soon will splash
We're eager to proceed to do this evil deed
Just as long as we are paid in cash
[BOTH]
We're an awful gruesome threesome
And we're rotten to the core
Of the jobs we pull, you'll see some that will
Make you hate us more
Whether larceny or murder
Makes no difference what the crime
We'll forge a check or cut your neck
If we can make a dime
And we won’t be happy till we get it
Oh, what a shame, they’ll hate our name in town
But what are we to do, unhappily it’s true
We’ll take anything that’s not nailed down
And we won’t be happy till we get it
