I got a PhD in how to make ends meet
I graduated from the college in the street
Inflation in the nation don't bother me
'Cause I'm a scholar when it comes to the almighty dollar
Money, money, money, money is
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign
I'm so mean with the green
I make a dollar, want to holler
Make a mark, want to bark
Make a pound, want to frown
Money, money, money, money is
Money's on my mind
Ain't no such thing as dirty money
The rich folks know what I mean
And money ain't got no smell, let me tell you
How green can keep you clean
Money, money, money, money is
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign
So mean with the green
I make a yen want to grin
Make a franc want to clank
Make a 20 look plenty
Money, money, money, money is
The only thing that's on my mind
♪
Beware, children, have to I-O-U
I think my friend, brother, Getty would agree
There's only one thing that money can't buy
And that is poverty, ooh
Money, money, money, money is
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign
♪
Money, money, money, money is
Money's on my mind
I'm a stone-cold taker, I'm a piggy-bank shaker
I use every ruse, talking trash
So if you go to my school, you got to learn to this rule
Don't let your mouth write a check that your body can't cash
Money, money, money, money is
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign
I'm so mean with the green
I make a dollar want to holler
Make a mark want to bark
Make a pound want to frown
Money, money, money, money is
The only thing that's on my mind

My eyes start to blinkin', when I flash on some Lincolns, whoo!
My mind start relaxin', when my pocket is full of Jacksons!
