Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got the money, I've got the time
You want your freedom, make your freedom mine
'Cause I've got the style it takes
And money is all that it takes
[Verse 2]
You've got connections and I've got the art
You like attention and I like your looks
And I have the style it takes
And you know the people it takes
[Verse 3]
Why don't you sit right over there?
We'll do a movie portrait
I'll turn the camera on and I won't even be there
A portrait that moves, you look great, I think
[Verse 4]
I'll put the Empire State Building on your wall
For twenty-four hours, glowin' on your wall
Watch the sun rise above it in your room
Wallpaper art, a great view
[Verse 5]
I've got a Brillo box and I say it's art
It's the same one you can at any supermarket
'Cause I've got the style it takes
And you've got the people it takes
[Verse 6]
This is a rock group called The Velvet Underground
I show movies on them, do you like their sound?
'Cause they have the style that grates
And I have art to make
[Verse 7]
Let's do a movie here next week
We don't have sound but you're so great, you don't have to speak
[Verse 8]
You've got the style it takes, kiss
You've got the style it takes, eat
You've got the style it takes, couch
You've got the style it takes, kiss
