A letra:
Money,
get away
You get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money,
it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New
car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, well, get
back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't
give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first
class travelling set
I think I need a Lear jet
Money, it's a
crime
Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is
the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise
It's no
surprise that they're giving none away (Away, away, away...)
"HuHuh! I was in
the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I
certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the
right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why
does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really
drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't
get into number 2. He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely,
after I was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't
coming up on freely. It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the
matter out"
