Money

Money!

You get away,

You get a good job with more pay

And you're okay.

Money!

It's a gas:

Grab that cash with both hands

And make a stash!

New car, caviar,

Four star daydream...

Think I'll buy me a football team!

Money!

Well, get back!

I'm all right Jack:

Keep your hands off of my stack!

Money!

It's a hit,

But don't give me

That do-goody good bullshit...

I'm in the high-fidelity,

First class travelling set

And I think I need a Learjet...

[Instrumental]

Money!

It's a crime:

Share it fairly, but don't take

A slice of my pie!

Money!

So they say,

Is the root

Of all evil today...

But, if you ask for a rise,

It's no surprise

That they're giving none away!

Away... Away...

Away... Away...

But, if you ask for a rise,

It's no surprise

That they're giving none away!

Aaaaah...!
