The best things in life are free
But you can tell me ’bout the birds and bees.
Now gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That’s what I want.
Money don’t get everything it’s true.
What it don’t get I can’t use.
So gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That’s what I want.
Yeh gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want THAT’S WHAT I WANT
So gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That’s what I want.
Your lovin’ give me a thrill
But your lovin’ don’t pay my bill.
Now gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That’s what I want.
Money don’t get everything it’s true.
What it don’t get I can’t use.
So gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That’s what I want.
Yeh gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want THAT’S WHAT I WANT
So gimme money THAT’S WHAT I WANT
That’s what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That’s what I want.
