Lyrics
Trio:
Can money make you honest?
Can it teach you right from wrong?
Can money keep you healthy?
Can it make your muscles strong?
Can money make your eyes red,
The way they get from sewing?
Can money make your back get sore,
The way it gets from mowing?
Can money make your hands get rough,
As washing dishes does?
Can money make you smell the way
That cooking fishes does?
It buys you gems and fancy clothes
And juicy steaks to carve,
But it cannot build your character
Or teach you how to starve
