Money don't grow
On a money tree
The more you take
Is the less for me
Money don't buy
What you really need
It make an iceman cry
Make a stoneman bleed
But when you get right down to it
No matter who you are
It rules your life
Like a virgin queen
Yeah, one day, you might get over it
But in the meantime
It rules the world
Like a green machine
In the bank, in a box
Money talks
In the black, on the rocks
Money talks
Money talks
Money don't lose
In the money game
It drags you down
Like a ball and chain (like a ball and chain)
So money don't come
With a guarantee
It make a fool of you
It make a fool of me (it make a fool of me)
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
But when you get right down to it
No matter what you say
It ties you down
But it can set you free
Yeah (whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Someday, you might get over it
But in the meantime
It burns you up
In the first degree
Moscow, Bangkok
Money talk
Park Lane, Boardwalk
Money talk
♪
Oh!
But when you get right down to it
No matter what you try
You deal the cards
Give the wheel a spin
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
One day, you might get over it
But everybody knows
It's heads, you lose
And it's tails, they win
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh) yeah
Don't have too much to show for it
That's the way it goes
You roll the dice
And they cash you in
Pinball, jukebox
Money talks
Redskins, White Sox
Money talks
Billboard, Cashbox
