The best things in life are free
But you can keep ’em for the birds and bees;
Now give me money, (that’s what I want) that’s what I want,

Your lovin’ give me such a thrill,
But your lovin’ don’t pay my bills;
Money don’t get everything it’s true,
What it don’t get I can’t use;
Well, now give me money, (That’s what I want)
A lotta money, (That’s what I want)
