The lines of "Blue Suede Shoes"

"You can burn my house, steal my car,
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar"

are often changed in coversongs (or left out completely).

I don't understand what Sam Taylor in his version is singing:

"Burn my house, take my car
Spend my money on your ???"

Can any English native speaker please help me out?

I think it's "spend my money on your ma & pa".
