Money Burns a Hole in My Pocket
Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I wish I had millions of dollars and nothing to do
But just buy pretty presents for you
Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had oil wells in Texas to keep me supplied
With money while I sit by your side
We would visit the store
All the beautiful things you see
Would soon be yours
'Cause money burns a hole in my pocket
So I'm bringing your perfume and candy and roses of red
And wishing they were diamonds instead
Every day of the week
We kinda visit the store
All the beautiful things you see
Would soon be yours
Money burns a hole in my pocket
So I'm bringing your perfume and candy and roses of red
And wishing they were diamonds instead
The lyrics of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin's song "Money Burns a Hole in My Pocket" are about the struggles of having money yet not being able to fully enjoy it. The song communicates how the character in the song, who's wealth is accompanied by an intense desire to make the people they love happy. The lyrics express their wish to have millions of dollars and the ability to buy beautiful gifts for their loved ones. At the same time, they recognize that there are certain responsibilities that come with having money, such as keeping up the appearance of wealth by purchasing gifts and maintaining certain lifestyle habits.
The song paints a picture of a world where money flows freely and beautiful gifts are constantly being bought. It expresses the desire for an unattainable financial freedom, as if the characters in the song are always chasing the next best thing but never content with what they have. The frustration of being unable to buy the things that truly matter and the emptiness that results from this is also alluded to in the song.
