El Dinero no es Todo

The fridge is empty
The bills already overdue
In the bathroom the pipes broken
The neighbor tells me I'm a mess
The store doesn't trust me
Mrs. Maria got mad
I made some money the other day
But I spent it on drinks
I'm broke...
Without a penny
But not crazy
Chorus
What are you going to do
You never learn
What you earn
You waste
What are you going to do
You never learn
What you earn
You spend it
CODA (repeat):
With the newspaper in hand
I went out to look for a job
I can't find a damn thing
I begged for a beer
I stay on the corner
Sunbathing
Not a bookie, no!
Not a burglar, no!
Not a biker, no!
Not a healer, no!
Not a cop, no!
Not a stripper, no!
Not a thief, no!
Transvestite, no!
Priest, no!
Pimp, no!
God bless
My grandmother's bunion
Who wisely
Told me
That in life
You have to accept
Chorus II:
(Money is not everything
But how it helps
Money is not everything
Oh! how it helps)
With money I would buy
A trip to the Congo
For my mother-in-law
The upholstery for the Torino
And grandma's dentures
(To Chorus II)
With money or without money
I always do what I want
Oh! How great it would be
To win the lottery
(To Chorus II)
I want money
I want money
I know it's not everything
But I still want money...
