Re: "It's Money"
Here is a little waltz about that stuff that would be in your pocket if you didn't spend all your time goofing around with your guitar and singing songs . . . all the odd words are various currencies from around the world.
It's Moneyby, James McCormick, April 26, 2007
In 3/4 time, a slow monetary waltz
[C]Rich folk are eccentric, the [F]poor folk just [C]loons
When [C]you got the cash you can call the [G]tune
If you [C]ain't in the black in the [F]red you will [C]drown
It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
. . .
You [F]might be plumb crazy or foolish or [C]smart
Or [F]maybe you're just a cranky old [G]fart
You [C]might be a saint or a [F]silly old [C]clown
But it's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
[Bb]Ducats, [F]Florins, [C]Shillings and Drams
[Bb]Rubles, [F]Rials, and [C]Gold Krugerands
[Bb]Kronas, [F]Kwachas, [C]Kwanzas and Leu
[Bb]Qirans and [F]Quetzals and [C]Zlotys will do
[C]Paper or plastic, [F]silver or [C]gold
[C]Some money's new and some money's [G]old
In-[C]herited, earned, or dug [F]up from the [C]ground
It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
. . .
[F]Salary, wage, or government [C]dole
[F]Money that's earned, money that's [G]stole
Do-[C]mestic or foreign, rec-[F]tangular or [C]round
It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
[Bb]Rupees, [F]Riechsmark, [C]Rai Stones, and Yen
[Bb]Tugrug, [F]Budju, [C]Sheqels and Wen
[Bb]Cupon, [F]Cruzeiro, [C]Dollars and Dong
[Bb]Pengo, [F]Peseta, [C]Euros and Yuan
It [C]costs to get married and then [F]more to di-[C]vorce
It [C]costs to get sick and get better of [G]course
It [C]costs to relax if you're [F]too tightly [C]wound
It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
. . .
It'll [F]cost you to park and it'll cost you to [C]drive
You'll [F]pay as you go and when you ar-[G]rive
You'll [C]pay through the nose and [F]pay by the [C]pound
It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
[Bb]Drachma, [F]Dobra, [C]Escudo, Dinar
[Bb]Lira, [F]Livre, [C]Baht, Nahar
[Bb]Obol, [F]Nakfa, [C]Ouguiya, Kroon
[Bb]Lilangeni, [F]Ngultrum, [C]Inca and Hwan
It [C]costs to get buried and it [F]costs to get [C]born
It [C]costs to stay cool and it costs to stay [G]warm
That [C]life is expensive is [F]not so pro-[C]found
It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round
. . .
Oh [F]Moolah and bucks, cold cash is [C]nice
[F]Anythings possible, just name the [G]price
In-[C]vest it or save, or [F]blow it on a [C]spree
'The [C]Man' will get paid, no [G]lunch is for [C]free
[Bb]Money [F]makes the [C]world go around
[Bb]Money [F]makes the [G]world go a-[C]round
