I got a PhD in how to make ends meet
I graduated from the college in the street
Inflation in the nation don't bother me
'Cause I'm a scholar when it comes to the almighty dollar

Money, money, money, money is...
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign

I'm so mean with the green
I make a dollar wanna holler
Make a mark wanna bark
Make a pound wanna frown

Money, money, money, money is...
Money's on my mind

Ain't no such thing as dirty money
The rich folks know what I mean
And money ain't got no smell, let me tell you
How green can keep you clean

Money, money, money, money is...
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign
So mean with the green
I make a yen wanna grin
Make a franc wanna clank
Make a twenty look plenty

Money, money, money, money is...
The only thing that's on my mind

I'd rather be well-to-do
Than have to I-O-U
I think my friend, brother Getty would agree
There's only one thing that money can't buy
And that is poverty

Money, money, money, money is...
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign

Money, money, money, money is...
Money's on my mind

I'm a stone-cold taker
I'm a piggy-bank shaker
I use every ruse, talking trash
So if you go to my school
You got to learn to this rule
Don't let your mouth write a check
That your body can't cash
Money, money, money, money is...
Money's on my mind
Money, money, money moves me
I even like the money sign

I'm so mean with the green
I make a dollar wanna holler
Make a mark wanna bark
Make a pound wanna frown

Money, money, money, money is...
The only thing that's on my mind

My eyes start to blinkin' when I flash on some Lincolns
My mind starts relaxin' when my pocket is full of Jacksons
