The Money Song Lyrics by Joel Grey

Cabaret (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1966

[EMCEE]
My father needs money
My uncle needs money
My mother is thin as a reed
But me, I'm sitting pretty
I've got all the money I need
My dearest friend Fritzy
Is south of his wits
He has four starving children to feed
But me, I'm sitting pretty
I've got all the money I need
I know my little cousin Eric has his creditors hysterical
And also cousin Herman had to pawn his mother's ermine
And my sister and my brother took to hocking one another too
But I've got some talents which
Build up my balance
So even my banker's agreed
That me, I'm sitting pretty
I've got all the money I need
I know my little cousin Eric has his creditors hysterical
And also cousin Herman had to pawn his mother's ermine
And my sister and my brother took to hocking one another too
But I'm not a nincompoop
I've got an income you
Put in the bank to accrue
Yes, me, I'm sitting pretty
[EMCEE & GIRLS]
Life is pretty sitting with
Pretty sitting with
Pretty sitting with you
