Money, Money, Money

I work all night, I work all day
to pay the bills I have to pay
ain’t it sad
and still there never seems to be
a single penny left for me
that’s too bad
in my dreams I have a plan
if I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all
I’d fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
must be funny
in the rich man’s world
money, money, money
always sunny
in the rich man’s world
aha, aha
all the things I could do
if I had a little money
it’s a rich man’s world

A man like that is hard to find
but I can’t get him off my mind
ain’t it sad
and if he happens to be free
I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
that’s too bad
so I must leave, I’ll have to go
to Las Vegas or Monaco
and win a fortune in a game
my life will never be the same

Money, money, money
must be funny
in the rich man’s world
money, money, money
always sunny
in the rich man’s world
aha, aha
all the things I could do
if I had a little money
it’s a rich man’s world

Money, money, money
must be funny
in the rich man’s world
money, money, money
always sunny
in the rich man’s world
aha, aha
all the things I could do
if I had a little money
it’s a rich man’s world

crazy World

I was up with the morning sun
couldn’t sleep so I thought I’d take a walk
I was thinking of you and me
and I went to your house ’cause I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
when I saw this guy closing your front door
had a feeling of emptiness
like I never had before

And I close my eyes
will you leave me girl
then I realise
it’s a crazy world

As he disappeared in his car
I was stunned and I didn’t know what to do
everything I had ever dreamed
everything in my life’s a part of you
and I just couldn’t move my feet
so I stood on the pavement as you came out
you acted as you didn’t know
what it was all about

And I close my eyes
will you leave me girl
then I realise
it’s a crazy world

Baby how could you do it
you just told me lies
and you meet behind my back
with other guys
baby how could you tell me
there was only me
I was stupid to believe you
I was blind but now I see

Then you smiled and you took my hand
“there is something,” you said, “that you may not know
there’s a couple of men in my life
and one of them is my brother Joe
he’s been gone for a long long time
but he’s back and I think he’s gonna stay
you’ll be seeing a lot of him
he’s so nice in every way”

And I close my eyes
never leave me, girl
then I realise
it’s a crazy world
