Money don't grow on a money tree   The more you take, even less for me   Money don't buy what you really need   It make an iceman cry, make a stone man bleed      But when you get right down to it, no matter who you are   It rules your life like a virgin queen   One day you might get over it but in the meantime   It rules the world like a green machine      In the bank, in a box, money talks   In the black, on the rocks, money talks, money talks      Money don't lose in the money game   It drags you down like a ball and chain   So money don't come with a guarantee   It make a fool of you, it make a fool of me      But when you get right down to it, no matter what you say   It ties you down but it can set you free, yeah   Some day you might get over it but in the meantime   It burns you up in the first degree      Moscow, Bangkok, money talk   Park Lane, Boardwalk, money talk      But when you get right down to it, no matter what you try   You deal the cards, give the wheel a spin   One day you might get over it but everybody knows   It's heads you lose and it's tails they win, yeah      Don't have too much to show for it, that's the way it goes   You roll the dice and they cash you in      Pinball, jukebox, money talks   Redskins, White Sox, money talks   Billboard, cash box, money talks
