Lyrics

[Intro]
Money
Money
[Chorus]
Money makes the world go around
The world go around, the world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round
[Chorus]
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound, a buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round
[Bridge]
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
[Verse 1]
If you happen to be rich and you feel like a night's entertainment
Ooh, money
You can pay for a gay escapade
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
If you happen to be rich and alone, and you need a companion
Ooh, money
You can ring
Tingaling
For the maid
If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your lover
Ooh
And you moan and you groan quite a lot
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
You can take it on the chin
Call a cab, and begin to recover on your
Ooh, money
Fourteen carat yacht
What?
[Chorus]
Money makes the world go around
The world go around, the world go around
Money makes the— go around
Of that we both are sure
On being poor
[Bridge]
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
[Bridge]
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
[Bridge]
Money, money, money
[Bridge]
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
[Verse 2]
When you haven't any coal in the stove
When you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate
And you curse to the wind at your fate
When you haven't any shoes on your feet
When you haven't any shoes on your feet
Your coat's thin as paper
Your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds underweight
And you look thirty pounds underweight
[Verse 3]
When you go to get a word of advice
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore
He will tell you to love evermore
But when hunger comes to rap
But when hunger comes to rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window
At the window
[Bridge]
At the window
Who's there?
Hunger
Oh, hunger
See how love flies out the door
[Chorus]
Money makes the world go around
The world go around, the world
Money makes the world go around
The clinking, clanking sound of
[Outro]
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Get a little, get a little
Money, money, money, money
Mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound
Is all that makes the world go 'round
It makes the world go 'round
