We can buy that mansion on the hill,
|
We'll fill it up until it's filled.
|
We'll buy a big black Cadillac
|
And we'll keep an extra one in the back.
|
We'll sit home just listening
|
To the sounds of the winds when they're breaking
|
And we can buy that diamond ring
|
And just about any other thing
|
With somebody else's money.
|
|
We can buy you that flower garden
|
With every rose that's ever risen.
|
With a blanket and a safety pin
|
We'll keep away all the boogie men.
|
And we can buy you that swing
|
Swing through the skies openings
|
And we can buy that diamond ring
|
And just about any other thing
|
With somebody else's money.
|
|
We can tattoo nickels on our skin,
|
We'll drain our veins and put honey in.
|
We'll buy new fingers two times ten,
|
We'll even put pennies in our chins.
|
We'll buy a silver set of wings,
|
Lay 'em on our backs for the winds
|
And we can buy that diamond ring
|
And just about any other thing
|
With somebody else's money.
|
|
We'll crash in on the neighbors wedding,
|
We'll steal the cake and go running.
|
You'll head straight for the jewelry
|
And I'll steal the money like a lottery.
|
We'll buy a set of legs just for walking,
|
And another set of tongues for when we're small talking,
|
Another set of lips for being obscene
|
And another set of heads for Halloween.
|
|
And we can buy you that swing
|
To swing through the skies openings.
|
We can buy that diamond ring,
|
Just about any other thing,
|
With somebody else's money.
|
|
We can buy babies for the babies,
|
We'll give them both big red ponies.
|
They'll live in that mansion on the hill
|
That we'll keep on fillin' until it's filled.
|
|
We'll watch the neighbors fatten up with greed
|
Watching us buying everything we don't need
|
I know they're listening
|
Through a telescope from across the street
|
Watching us fillin' up the bathtubs with sweets
|
Money, money, money.
|
|
Money on the floor put money in the beds
|
Put money in the drains
|
Money coming out of our heads,
|
Money, money, money.
|
|
We can kill many a dirty man
|
Work by the church when they bring us in.
|
We can buy anything
|
Because there's always something
|
That's so funny about spending
|
Somebody else's money.
