Money Money (Live at Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR, May 19, 1974) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My baby gives me the finance blues
Tax me to the limit of my revenues
Now here she come finger-popping clickety click
She says "Furs or diamonds, you can take your pick"

[Chorus]
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
Money, money (Money, money, money)
Money, money (Money, money, money)

[Verse 2]
Now, she says "Money, honey", I draw a blank
I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank
And knocking off my neighborhood savings and loan
To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de cologne

[Chorus]
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
Money, money (Money, money, money)
Money, money (Money, money, money)
[Bridge]
Now, mama, don't send me down to rob that bank again
I got a notion you're leading me to sin
Won't you relax, won't you lay way back
Don't you bug your honey about no Cadillac
It's only bucks, you don't need no jack
So won't you please relax and lay way back

[Verse 3]
My baby's lovin' gives me such a thrill
It gives me inspiration making counterfeit bills
Now, some folks say the best things in life are free
I sure don't get no lovin' living honestly

[Chorus]
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
Woo, money, money (Money, money, money)
Money, money (Money, money, money)
[Verse 4]
Lord made a lady out of Adam's rib
Next thing you know you got women's lib
Lovely to look upon, heaven to touch
It's a real shame they got to cost so much

[Chorus]
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
She wants money
(What she wants)
Woo, money, money (Money, money, money)
Money, money (Money, money, money)

[Outro]
Money, money (Money, money, money)
Money, money (Money, money, money)
