Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Money, get away
Get a good job with good 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
[Verse 2]
Oh yeah
Money get back
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, yeah yeah, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, yeah yeah yeah, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for pay rise, it's no surprise that they're giving
None away
Away, away, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Away, oh yeah
[Verse 4]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I was in the right
Yes, absolutely in the right
I certainly was in the right
You was definitely in the right
That geezer was cruising for a bruising
Yeah
Why does anyone do anything?
I don't know, I was really drunk at the time
I was just telling him he could get it in number two
He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely
After I was yelling and screaming and telling him
Why he wasn't coming up on freely
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out
