Money, Money, Money

Money, Money, Money

It can buy you many things

It can buy you flashy cars

It can buy you diamond rings

It can put food on the table

And also gas in your ride

Money, Money, Money

We need that in our lives

Whether it is paper or shiny copper coins

We want more and we need more now!

For money we can’t avoid

It is essential to our existence

Or so we think somehow

Money, Money, Money

We need it for everything

We want it all

We need it all

We have to have it today

Those clothes you wear today

That burger and those fries

The toothpaste used to brush your teeth

Each had a dollar value

Each cost cash to see

The house you live in

Your medical care

The coffin when you die

Money, Money, Money

It seems like it buys everything you need in your life

But then when you get at home 

You finally sit around and think…

And that’s when it finally hits you

You really haven’t bought a thing

Oh what joy it is to be surrounded

By so many materialistic things

I thought money bought me happiness

But money didn’t buy me a thing
