Money makes the world go round The world go round, the world go round Money makes the world go round 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 round That clinking, clanking sound Can make the world go round
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 tingaling for the maid
If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your lover Tho you moan and you groan quite a lot You can take it on the chin Call a cab, and begin to recover on your fourteen carat yacht
Money makes the world go round The world go round, the world go round Money makes the world go round Of that we both are sure On being poor
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 and your coat's thin as paper And you look thirty 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, see how love flies out the door
For money makes the world go round The world go round, the world go round 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
