I've been thirsting to burst your bubble since I heard the low-down we may be over- supplied with a green-backed bird called Money, that trollop spread-wide by aliases
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound A buck or a pound, a buck or a pound
To a layman's ears unlearned in the fine- tuned registers of glib-tongued financiers, it may ring up as reason to cheer with no tinkling of trouble, but if Money
Is all that makes the world go around that clinking, clanking sound (they do say)
She sings, clangs a bit hollow when she clings too heavy in alms of poorly wrung hands, it's then well-heeled sit'n spins'll turn us about to the golden-gapped beams of bankers mouths
For Money makes the world go around The world go around, the world go around
And will till johns who hold little put less stock in the **** pitches of slick-macking daddy Street with his tricky fat pay backs for the ounce of love he's flouncing to sell.
