Alan Cumming, Cabaret Ensemble (1998) - Money Lyrics

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 money
Money money money money money money

If you happen to be rich
And you feel like a night's entertainment
You can pay for a gay escapade (money money money money money money)

If you happen to be rich (money)
And alone, and you need a companion (money)
You can ring-ting-a-ling for the maid

If you happen to be rich (money)
And you find you are left by your lover (money)
Though you moan and you groan quite a lot (money money money money money money)
You can take it on the chin (money)
Call a cab and begin (money)
To recover on your fourteen carat yacht

Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
Of that we can be sure
on being poor

Money money money
Money money money
Money money money
Money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money

Money money money
Money money money
Money money money
Money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money

If you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse on 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 a rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window

At the window
Who's there?
Hunger
Ugh, 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 go around
That clinking-clanking sound of
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money
Get a little money money money money money money
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound (money money money money money money)
That clinking clanking sound (money money money money money money)
Is all that makes the world go 'round (money money money money money money)
It makes the world go 'round
