Thanks, to all who have posted examples of songs about money.

Dave, thanks for your nickle, pickle example. Re: your question about the word "henny", I'd bet the farm if I had one that a "henny" is a hen. I mean what else rhymes with the word "penny"? I guess kids could have said "My mother gave me a penny to give to my brother Lenny? Hmm. But the pattern is to buy something..so being creative, children came up with "henny". I like it.

Also regarding that example, in 2006 or thereabouts, the Bazooka corporation used that old chewing gum rhyme to market their brand of bubble gum.

Here's a link to a thread I started for this versions of that rhyme:
