The Smell of Money Songtext
von Todd Rundgren

My boy I say you′re unaware of
Things that I am unaware of
The things they say behind one's back
That you suspect but aren′t quite sure of
Don't say you haven't noticed

The smell of money is all about me
I just can′t rid myself
Of it′s overpowering bouquet
My inner beauty cursed with obscurity
By a scent that can't be washed away


I don′t know who you think I am
But if I'm who I think I am
Then there′s no cranny I've examined
Taints the air where ere I am

But don′t say you haven't noticed

The smell of money wafts all about me
It neutralizes any other odors I convey
Best friends won't tell me
They know I′m suffering
With a scent that can′t be washed away


The stench of money
Is reeking off of me
A mix of cheap cologne
Weasel pheromone and rotted grave
Thank dad and mommy
I'm filthy, stinking rich
So I can say to you "piss off"
I bathe, I bathe
