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
