Money Song

MONEY SONG
Music by John Gould, words by Eric Idle and John Gould
Sung by Eric Idle
From `Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ and elsewhere

I’ve got ninety thousand pounds in my pyjamas
I’ve got forty thousand French francs in my fridge
I’ve got lots of lovely lire
Now the Deutschmark’s getting dearer
And my dollar bills could by the Brooklyn Bridge

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash
Some people say it’s folly
But I’d rather have the lolly
With money you can ma-ake a splash

There is nothing quite as wonderful as money
(money money money)
There is nothing like a newly minted pound
(money money money)
Everyone must hanker
For the butchness of a banker
It’s accountancy that makes the world go round
(round round)

You can keep your Marxist ways
For it’s only just a phase
Oh, it’s money-money-money makes the world go round!

(money money money money money money money money MONEY!)
