Lyrics

I'm just an ordinary kind of a guy
I may have been stoned, but I never lived high
Worked harder and harder to make less and less
There's only one thing'll get me out of this mess
It's money, the great green dollar
Money, now everybody holler
Money, M-O-N-E-Y, why can't I get enough?
So I put my last dime in the telephone
Called up the bank to get a loan
The banker said, "Sorry, we just haven't got any
An hour ago I loaned the bank's last penny"
Oh, it's money, the great green dollar
Money, come on now, everybody holler
Money, M-O-N-E-Y, why can't I get enough?
So I went to the pawnshop to pawn my shoes
But the pawnbroker said, "I've got bad news"
He looked at my feet and he smelled my socks
He said, "Get out of here, buddy
I don't want what you got to hock"
Oh, it's money, the great green dollar
Money, come on now, everybody holler
Money, M-O-N-E-Y, why can't I get enough?
Oh, give me some of that green music, would you, Bobby?
So I went to the devil to sell my soul
But when I got to hell it was freezin' cold
The devil turned to me and said with a chill
"They turned off the heat 'cause I can't pay the bill"
Oh, it's money, the great green dollar
Money, come on now, everybody holler
Money, M-O-N-E-Y, why can't I get enough?
M-O-N-E-Y, why can't I get enough?
