Money Burns a Hole in My Pocket
The Rat Pack 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 "Money Burns a Hole in My Pocket" by The Rat Pack express a longing for wealth and the desire to spend that wealth on the person the singer loves. The opening line, "Money burns a hole in my pocket," suggests that the singer has a tendency to spend money quickly and without restraint. This can be interpreted as an indication of a lavish and extravagant lifestyle or a desire for such a lifestyle.
The line, "How I wish I had millions of dollars and nothing to do," reflects the singer's desire for immense wealth and the freedom from worries and responsibilities that it could bring. The longing for financial abundance is expressed by the yearning to have "nothing to do" other than shower the loved one with expensive gifts.
The following lines, "But just buy pretty presents for you," further emphasize the singer's desire to lavish their loved one with material possessions. The use of the word "pretty" suggests a focus on superficial beauty and a belief that money can buy love and affection.
In the next verse, the singer expresses the wish to have "oil wells in Texas" that would provide a constant supply of money. This line implies a desire for never-ending wealth and a reliance on external factors, such as oil wells, to maintain that financial security.
The repetition of the lines, "Every day of the week, we would visit the store; all the beautiful things you see would soon be yours," emphasizes the constant desire to indulge in material possessions and give them to the loved one. It suggests a lifestyle of shopping and indulgence, with the sole purpose of acquiring beautiful things for the person they love.
Overall, the lyrics convey a yearning for wealth and the belief that money has the power to fulfill all desires and bring joy to a relationship. The romantic gestures of bringing perfume, candy, and roses of red are seen as inadequate compared to the wishes for diamonds, underscoring the desire for extravagant gifts and a lifestyle of opulence.
