They say you can survive as long as you have love

You can smile through your life and a smile is enough

Your heart is the key to wonderful life

But I got some bad news thats gonna cut you like a knife

chorus

It's for the money, honey and I'm not being funny

It put's the sparkle in your diamonds, takes the rumble from your tummy

It keeps the demons from your door and leaves you begging for some more

Say what you want to say about me, for the cash I'm just a whore

I'd like to see world peace and all the suffering at ease

But I want to make commission so a cut will be nice please

No more war, no more, it would be nice

I can sort it if you want but I gotta have a price

chorus

It's for the money, honey and I'm not being funny

It put's the sparkle in your diamonds, takes the rumble from your tummy

It keeps the demons from your door and leaves you begging for some more

Say what you want to say about me, for the cash I'm just a whore

I can end all hate, if I can get the proper rate

I'll find a WMD if there's a drink in it for me

I'll fix the ozone layer for a percentage of the cost

I'll even turn back time if there's some pound notes to be tossed

chorus

It's for the money, honey and I'm not being funny

It put's the sparkle in your diamonds, takes the rumble from your tummy

It keeps the demons from your door and leaves you begging for some more

Say what you want to say about me, for the cash I'm just a whore

So when you say to me that happiness is all that counts for you

And that you are rich on life and you are pleased with what you do

I'll be happy for you, really, and I won't be talking trash

Just as long as I get paid, by either bankers draft or cash

chorus

It's for the money, honey and I'm not being funny

It put's the sparkle in your diamonds, takes the rumble from your tummy

It keeps the demons from your door and leaves you begging for some more

Say what you want to say about me, for the cash I'm just a whore

money, money, money
