Money (from "Cabaret") Songtext
von 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 'round

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
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
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 a rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window

At the window

Who′s there?

Hunger!

Ooh, 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 money money money money

Get a little, get a little
Money money money money money money
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound
That clinking clanking clunking sound
Is all that makes the world go 'round

It makes the world go round!
