They'd Rather Be Making Money Songtext
von Lynsey de Paul

Men today, wearing their aftershave
Men today, ready reckoning what they made
Laying back in that laid back way
Looking at you through their tinted shades
Men today...

They′d rather be making money than making love, ah-ha
It's a different kind of figure they′re dreaming of, ah-ha
And if you get them on their own
You'll be sharing them with a telephone
They'd rather be making money than making love, ah-ha

Men today, smoking those big cigars
Men today, driving those fancy cars
Never going very far
And never knowing who they are
Men today...


They′d rather be making money than making love, ah-ha
It′s a different kind of figure they're dreaming of, ah-ha
And when you think they really care
All they′re caring about is their stocks and shares
They'd rather be making money than making love

Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money oooh
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money oooh

Money, money
Money, money

Men today, never opening any doors
Men today, show no chivalry anymore
Conversation is just a bore
Don′t you know what I am waiting for?
Men today...

They'd rather be making money than making love, ah-ha
It′s a different kind of figure they're dreaming of, ah-ha
The only way straight to their heart
Is the dollar or a pound or the German mark
They'd rather be making money than making love, ah-ha

Money money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money oooh
Money money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money oooh

Money, money
Money, money
They′d rather be making money than making love, ah-ha


They′d rather be making money than making love, ah-ha
It's a different kind of figure they′re dreaming of, ah-ha
Money, money
Money, money
They'd rather be making money than making love
