I see Johnny with his head hanging down, yeah,
Wondering how many shillings left in that pound.
Cost of living, it is rise up so high,
Dollar see that have heart attack and die.

Bills and budgets are waiting, yeah,
Finance ministers anticipating.
Unemployment is rising,
And I hear my people, they're crying, oh Lord.

The day that the dollar die,
Things are gonna be better.
The day that the dollar die,
No more corruption.
The day the dollar die,
People will respect each other.
The day the dollar die.

Tell me brother, is there something I can do?
Don't you let frustrations make you blue.
Time is hard and I know that is true,
But if you pick yourself up, that's all you got to do.

Things can be much better, oh yeah,
If we can come together.
Long time we've been divided,
And it's time we be inited, I say.

The day the dollar die,
Gonna be better.
The day the dollar die,
I won't need no pockets, yes ah.
The day the dollar die,
Don't have to be frettin'.
The day the dollar die.

Now I see you standing on your feet,
And you can also make two ends meet.
Never you let life problems get you down,
There is always a solution to be found.

Bills and budgets are mourning,
Finance ministers groaning.
Unemployment is rising,
And I hear my people crying, down in the ghetto.

The day the dollar die,
It's gonna be nice.
The day the dollar die,
Just you wait and see.
The day this ya dollar die,
There be no more inflation.
The day the dollar die.

I say the day Danny dollar die,
There'll be no more corruption.
The day Sammy dollar die,
We will love each other.
I said the day this ya dollar die,
Fight some inflation..
