This is a rant asking what has happened to all the money we used to have. Cheryl says it was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street people. Cheryl admits that she doesn't know or understand economics, but suspects that a group of uber-wealthy people are hoarding tons of money.
Cheryl bought a tenor ukulele in 2011 and has started writing songs for it. This is one of them. The musical intro is "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime?"
There is a great clip on YouTube that was posted by hahborgurl. In case you don't know, Cheryl's first stringed instrument was the ukulele.

- We used to paint the town
- Weeknights after 5
- Laugh and ride around
- In Chevys all the time
- Let the Bacharach spin
- Buy the world a coke
- That was way back when
- Now everybody's broke
- Where's all the money?
- Who's got the money?
- Where's all the money now?
- Oh everything was fine
- Life was long and loose
- We bought stuff all the time
- Smoked and drank Mateus
- Then right before our eyes
- With nothing much to say
- Uber wealthy guys
- Squirreled it all away
- Where's all the money?
- Who's got the money?
- Where's all the money now?
- If life's a cherry pie
- Taken as it comes
- Your slice is miles high
- While we all share the crumbs
- If you could find a way
- To help us in the clutch
- I think it's safe to say
- We'd thank you both so much
- Where's all the money?
- Who's got the money?
- Where's all the money now?
