Lyrics[]
Singer: Oh, money may be the root of all evil
Money, it might not buy you love
Money won't bring you happiness
or grow new hair
or cure your stress
or get you to the pearly gates above
But there's a bunch of things that money can do:
Put a shirt on your back
And a shine on your shoe
When the cash shows up, I don't say "boo"
I take the money and run
'Cause love can't buy a fancy car
or fill your tank
If you want the finer things,
you'd better break the bank
Cause if there's one sure thing that money can do
Put the pedal to the metal when the rent comes due
When the money shows up, baby, don't say "boo"
Just take the money and run
(Talking): You know, they say that money can't buy love
But it'll get you stuff that is so close to love
That you won't know the difference
I love money
I love my pockets to jingle
That's the way it is when you're single
Oh, cash. I love cash!
I want my wallet to be fat
Like the rest of me
Now blow, boy!
(Horn solo)
Now he sounds like he's got money
(Horn solo continues)
Oh, money
Can put me on the road to the promised land
I want money with me at all times
(Singing): 'Cause love can't buy a fancy car
Or fill your tank
If you want the finer things,
you'd better break the bank
'Cause if there's one sure thing that money can do,
put the pedal to the metal when the rent comes due
When the money shows up, baby, don't say "boo"
Just take the money and run
Oh, yeah
Take the money and run
Go man
Grab your stash, get your cash
We're gonna have a bash
Take the money and run
