Money Money Lyrics by Joel Grey, Liza Minnelli

Cabaret (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture)

1972

[SALLY, spoken]
Money
[EMCEE, spoken]
Money
[EMCEE & SALLY]
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
[EMCEE]
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
[SALLY & EMCEE]
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound (A buck or a pound, a buck or a pound)
[EMCEE & SALLY]
Is all that makes the world go around
That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
[EMCEE & SALLY]
If you happen to be rich (Money, money, money, money)
And you feel like a night's entertainment (Ooh, money)
You can pay for a gay escapade (Money, money, money, money)
If you happen to be rich (Money, money, money, money)
And alone, and you need a companion (Ooh, money)
You can ring (Tingaling)
For the maid
If you happen to be rich (Ooh)
And you find you are left by your lover
And you moan (Money, money, money, money)
And you groan quite a lot (Money, money, money, money)
You can take it on the chin (Ooh)
Call a cab, and begin to recover on your (Money)
[EMCEE & SALLY]
Fourteen carat yacht
[SALLY, spoken]
What?
[EMCEE & SALLY]
Money makes the world go around
The world go around, the world go around
Money makes the— go around
Of that we both are sure
On being poor
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
[SALLY & EMCEE]
When you haven't any coal in the stove
And you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate
When you haven't any shoes on your feet
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 to rap
Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat at the window
[EMCEE, spoken]
At the window
[SALLY, spoken]
Who's there?
[EMCEE, spoken]
Hunger
[SALLY, spoken]
Oh, hunger
[EMCEE & SALLY]
See how love flies out the door
Money makes the world go around
The world go around, the world
Money makes the world go around
The clinking, clanking sound of
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, money, money
Get a little, get a little
Money, money, money, money
Mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound
Is all that makes the world go 'round
It makes the world go 'round
