Lyrics
Chorus
Of money that’s what they sigh for
Money that’s what they cry for
Money to a little girl
Means more than any smile
Money makes them laugh and dance
And love you all the while
Money, those lovely greenbacks
They torment a girlie more or less
Money may be dirty stuff
But who ever gave a girl enough
Of money, not me, I must confess
Chorus
And money counts more than speeches
Money it wins the “peaches”
Even though you haven’t got much
Hair upon your head
For the cash some girl would take you
Tho’ you’re almost dead
Money will draw girls to you
While you’ve got the dough to you they’ll cling
Never worry ’bout your looks
For nothing can beat the old bank books
For money, sure is one lovely thing
