I am not sure that this is the origin, but the song "Do Re Mi" by Woody Guthrie is clearly referring to money; the song is included on his legendary album Dust Bowl Ballads, which was recorded in 1940.

What is the sofa syllables of its a small world?

I assume you mean "solfege" syllables. I apologize if I'm wrong. But for "It's a Small World," they would be: do do mi do re re re, re re fa re mi mi mi, mi mi sol mi fa fa fa, mi re sol ti do. Mind that this is using the more common method of "moveable do" and not "fixed do," so these pitches can be put into any key. I thought it was: mi fa so (up) mi do re do do ti ti - (down) re mi fa (up) re ti do ti la so so - mi fa so do re mi, re do la re mi fa, mi re so mi la ti do
