Little Richard — Money Is

I got a PhD in how to make ends meet I graduated from the college in the street Inflation in the nation don't bother me 'Cause I'm a scholar when it comes to the almighty dollar Money, money, money, money is... Money's on my mind Money, money, money moves me I even like the money sign I'm so mean with the green I make a dollar wanna holler Make a mark wanna bark Make a pound wanna frown Money, money, money, money is... Money's on my mind Ain't no such thing as dirty money The rich folks know what I mean And money ain't got no smell, let me tell you How green can keep you clean Money, money, money, money is... Money's on my mind Money, money, money moves me I even like the money sign So mean with the green I make a yen wanna grin Make a franc wanna clank Make a twenty look plenty Money, money, money, money is... The only thing that's on my mind I'd rather be well-to-do Than have to I-O-U I think my friend, brother Getty would agree There's only one thing that money can't buy And that is poverty Money, money, money, money is... Money's on my mind Money, money, money moves me I even like the money sign Money, money, money, money is... Money's on my mind I'm a stone-cold taker I'm a piggy-bank shaker I use every ruse, talking trash So if you go to my school You got to learn to this rule Don't let your mouth write a check That your body can't cash Money, money, money, money is... Money's on my mind Money, money, money moves me I even like the money sign I'm so mean with the green I make a dollar wanna holler Make a mark wanna bark Make a pound wanna frown Money, money, money, money is... The only thing that's on my mind My eyes start to blinkin' when I flash on some Lincolns My mind starts relaxin' when my pocket is full of Jacksons
