[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Verse 1]
Piles on the table
(Stack after stack)
Numbers climbing higher
(No turning back)
Paper towers rising
(Through the blue)
Miles in the sky
(Just for you)
[Chorus]
Give ’er a try
(Stack ’em sky high)
One billion bills
(Need stacking skills)
Give ’er a shove
(Up above)
Paper to space
(In the human race)

[Verse 2]
Sixty-seven miles
(Into the air)
A ladder of money
(Hanging up there)
Past the clouds
(Past the blue)
All built from paper
(Printed for you)
[Chorus]
Give ’er a try
(Stack ’em sky high)
One billion bills
(Need stacking skills)
Stack after stack
(No looking back)
Money to heaven
(Sixty-seven)

[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Still…
(Counting until)
Million to billion
(Climb the hill)
Paper mountains
(Never still)

[Final Chorus]
Give ’er a try
(Stack ’em sky high)
One billion bills
(Need stacking skills)
Higher and higher
(Into the blue)
Miles of money
(Just passing through)
[Outro – Spoken Reflection]
[Minimal Beat, Organ Pad]
Still counting…
(Stack after stack)
One billion dollars…
(And that’s just the start)
[Slow Bass Pulse]
How high will it go…
(Before it falls apart?)
[Instrumental Fade]
ABOUT THE SONG
A stack of one billion $1 bills would reach 67.9 miles high, extending well into the Earth’s atmosphere and technically reaching space.
