Money makes the world go around
…the world go around
…the world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
…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 money
Money money money…
If you happen to 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 aroung
Of that we both are sure…
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
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!
