Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round

A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round

[GIRLS][Chorus 2]
Money money money money money money[x3]
Money money

[EMCEE]
If you happen
To be rich

[GIRLS]
Ooooh

[EMCEE]
And you feel like a
Night's entertainment


[GIRLS]
Money

[EMCEE]
You can pay for a
Gay escapade

[GIRLS][Chorus 2]
Money money[x4]

[EMCEE]
If you happen to
To be rich

[GIRLS]
Ooooh

[EMCEE]
And alone, and you
Need a companion

[GIRLS]

[EMCEE]
You can ring-ting
A-ling for the maid

[EMCEE]
If you happen
To be rich

[GIRLS]
Ooooh

[EMCEE]
And you find you are
Left by your lover

[GIRLS]
Money

[EMCEE]
Though you moan
And you groan
Quite a lot

[GIRLS][Chorus 2]

[EMCEE]
You can take it
On the chin

[GIRLS]
Ooooh

[EMCEE]
Call a cab
And begin

[GIRLS]
Money

[EMCEE]
To recover
On your fourteen
Carat yacht

[EMCEE][Chorus 1]
Money makes the world go around
The world go around[x2]
Money makes the world go around
Of that we can be sure
[?] on being poor

[ALL][Chorus 2]
Money money money[x5]

[DANCE BREAK]

[EMCEE AND GIRLS (In Canon)]
If you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse on the wind
At your fate
When you haven't any shoes
On your feet
And your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds
Underweight
When you go to get a word of advice
From the fat little pastor
He will tell you to love evermore
But when hunger comes a rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window

[GIRLS]
At the window

[EMCEE, spoken]
Who's there?

[GIRLS, spoken]
Hunger!

[EMCEE, spoken]
Ooh, hunger!
See how love flies out the door
For

[EMCEE]

The world

[GIRLS]
Go around

[EMCEE]
The world

[GIRLS]
Go around

[EMCEE]
Money makes the
Go around

[GIRLS]
Go around
That clinking
Clanking sound of
Money money money money money money
Money money money money money money

Clinking sound

The world go 'round
