YEHUDI MATTHEW

 
Money Is The Word

Words and Music: Yehudi Matthew

Rfr. Money is the word

Money is the word

What people wanna get

1. They do anything to get it

Some are callboys, some are callgirls,

Some are thieves and some are workers

In a factory, some are working in an office,

Some are police, some are dealers,

Some are smokers, some are jokers,

Some are models, some are doctors,

One is cabbage and another the pope,

And I sing this song for you!

Rfr. Money is the word

Money is the word

What people wanna get

2. Everybody does need it,

So they’re working very hard

From the early morning 'til

Late at midnight, they try to get it all the time,

Everybody thinks about that reason all the time,

They wanna be rich like the most famous

Uncle Scrooge,

Everybody needs it

To get their living and graves.

Rfr. Money is the word

Money is the word

What people wanna get

3. They need it to get their food,

To get their clothes, get their cars,

To get sex and alcohol,

To get their cigarettes, get a killer, get the night,

To get their drugs, to get a flat,

To get the playboys, get the playgirls,

To get justice, gain control, be mighty and

Finally get the luxury.

Rfr. Money is the word

Money is the word

What people wanna get

4. So I stay here with my guitar

And I sing this song to the whole wide world,

Please put some coins into

My guitarcase.

So I stay here with my guitar

And I sing this song to the whole wide world,

Please put some coins into

My guitarcase

And I sing like a musicbox.

Rfr. Money is my word

Money is my word

What I wanna get
