Recordings

This song is otherwise known as "The Stinking Rich Song".

1. Demo version.
   Written for Disney's James and the Giant Peach.
   Released in September 2004 on Fuzzy Warbles Volume Six in the U.K.

   Andy: “Do you know, they showed James and the Giant Peach on telly here over Easter, in between an awful lot of eggs, chicks and chocolate being nailed up, and I turned off in disgust at the poverty of the songs. What an old reactionary I am. Hurt my throat doing the voices. But I forgive Randy Newman as he did write ‘Simon Smith and His Amazing Dancing Bear’.”

Lyrics

Stinking stinking stinking stinking
Stinking stinking stinking stinking
Stinking stinking stinking stinking rich

Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach

We can charge admission just to leer
And to peer they'll gladly pay up through the nose you know
And then two millionaires will soon be near
We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich

Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach

We can set a tent up selling beer
Not just beer there will be ice cream cones and souvenirs
And soon two millionaires we will be near
We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich

Stinking stinking stinking stinking
Stinking stinking stinking stinking
Stinking stinking stinking stinking rich

Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach

(Left channel)
We can sail to Hollywood, my dear
And, my dear, there will be cameramen and actors needing
Food and drink and we can charge them dear
We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich

(Right channel - sung under the above)
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach

(Right channel)
We can charge admission just to leer
And to peer they'll gladly pay up through the nose you know
And then two millionaires we will be near
We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich

(Left channel - sung under above)
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach
Oh what a peach
of an idea, of an idea, it's really a peach

We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich
We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich
We'll be stinking stinking stinking stinking rich
