Daddy Rich Lyrics by Rose Royce

Car Wash (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1976

Wait a minute, look

Here comes Daddy Rich in his mean limousine
People come from everywhere wishing he cleanses their sins
We give you father glory and bless
He says "all you've got to do is believe in me
To get you saved"

I want to tell you one thing
I went to Daddy Rich's church last Sunday
There was all in a row people out there spending tons of money
A young man jumped up and accused Daddy Rich of being a bitch
Daddy Rich just smiled then began to preach

He said "I feel like those who do not like me and call me a liar
But I will help them say forgive"
Let's start talking about my only beliefs
Money and my income
'Cause with your own currency you can achieve any pleasure

Money, everybody needs some
Money, everybody wants some
Money, turns everybody on
Money, money can give you power
Yeah

Remember those words from Daddy Rich
"Money might be the root of all evil, but it's also the answer
To a lot of of our problems, ain't it?"
