Lyrics Money - Cabaret Ensemble (1998) feat. Alan Cumming

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 around

(Money, money, 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
If you happen to be rich and alone, and you need a companion
You can ring, ting-a-ling, for the maid
If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your lover
Though you moan and you groan quite a lot
You can take it on the chin, call a cab
And begin 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
Pfff 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

If you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to 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 to 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
Get a little, get a little
Money, money, money, money
Mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound
Is all the makes the world go 'round

It makes the world go 'round!
