We've got a lot of what it takes to get along! We're in the money! The skies are sunny! Ol' Man Depression, you are through, you done us wrong! We never see a headline 'bout a bread line today, And when we see the landlord, We can look that guy right in the eye! We're in the money! Come on, my honey! Let's lend it, spend it, send it rolling along! Early versionsEarly popular recordings of this song were by performed by Ted Lewis & His Band and by Hal Kemp & His Orchestra. Dick Powell, who does not sing a note of "The Golddigger's Song" in the motion picture, recorded a version that also sold well.[2] Other 1933 versions were by The Dorsey Brothers (vocal by The Boswell Sisters),[3] and Leo Reisman and His Orchestra (vocal by Fred Astaire)[4].

In other Warner Bros. productionsThe song was used again in two other Warner Bros. productions: as the theme song of the 1933 Merrie Melodies cartoon We're in the Money; and as the theme and source music two years later in the 1935 film, We're in the Money. Media On the very first Simpsons episode, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, Bart and Barney sing the first three lines of the song. In the Simpsons episode "HOMR", the first two lines of the song are sung by a chorus in Homer's head.
