That's not the way, that's not the way of the world
Late night creeper, with a Saturday night, Saturday night special
After some poor storekeeper, you need more and more just to stay alive
Ooh it's a sin, baby you fight to win
But the rich get richer and the poor keep on living in ditches
Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever
Don't you know that it's an old fever, and I tell you it's a cold killer
Said I'm talking about goldfever, don't you know that it's an old fever
And I tell you it's a heartbreaker, yeah I'm talking about goldfever
Let me tell you about, let me tell you about goldfever
Big businessman, incorporate this, incorporate that yeah
You're making all them dollar bills
But you no longer see humanity needs love
Ooh it's a crime, baby in 3/4 time
Go on dance with your billions, while the people keep on dying in millions
Goldfever, let me tell you about goldfever, don't you know it's an old fever
And I tell you it's a cold killer
Said I'm talking about goldfever, don't you know that it's a cold fever
And I tell you it's a heartbreaker, yeah I'm talking about goldfever
Let me tell you about goldfever and it hits you like a cold fever
It comes on like a real sensation, but it'll leave you in desolation
Yeah I'm talking about goldfever, and tho I know that it's an old fever
It's a number one best seller, and it can put you in heaven or hell - ah
Let me tell you about goldfever, don't you know that it's an old fever
And I tell you it's a cold killer, let me tell you about goldfever
Let me tell you about, let me tell you about goldfever
