Money makes the world go around

...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

Money money money money

Money money money...

If you happen to be rich
And you feel like a night's entertainment
You can pay for a gay escapade.
If you happen to be rich and alone
And you need a companion 
You can ring (ting-a-ling) for the maid.
If you happen to be rich
And you find you are left by your lover,
And you moan and you groan quite a lot
You can take it on the chin,
Call a cab and begin to recover
On your 14-karat yacht! WHAT!?

Money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go around
Of that we both are sure...
*rasberry sound* on being poor!

Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money...

When you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate.
When you haven't any shoes on your feet,
Your coat's thin as paper, 
And you look 30 pounds underweight
When you go to get a word of advice 
From the fat little pastor,
He will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes to rap,
rat-a-tat rat-a-tat at the window
*knock knock* (at the window)
Who's there? (hunger) oh, hunger!!
See how love flies out the door...

For, money makes the world go around
...the world go around
...the world go around.
Money makes the world go 'round
The clinking, clanking sound of...
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! 



I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend 
If it makes you feel all right 
I'll get you anything my friend 
If it makes you feel all right 
Cause I don't care too much for money 
For money can't buy me love 

I'll give you all I've got to give 
If you say you love me too 
I may not have a lot to give 
but what I've got I'll give to you 
For I don't care too much for money 
For money can't buy me love 

Can't buy me love 
Everybody tells me so 
Can't buy me love 
No, no, no, no 

Say you don't need no diamond ring 
And I'll be satisfied 
Tell me that you want those kind of things 
that money just can't buy 
For I don't care too much for money 
For money can't buy me love 

Can't buy me love 
Everybody tells me so 
Can't buy me love 
No, no, no, no 

Say you don't need no diamond ring 
And I'll be satisfied 
Tell me that you want those kind of things 
that money just can't buy 
For I don't care too much for money 
Cause money can't buy me love 
Ooh, can't buy me love, love 
Can't buy me love, no
