Il banchiere errante - Text fragments (…) Banchiere Errante: (...) Wandering banker:
Song: MONEY, MONEYMoney makes the world go around, the world go around, the world go around. Money makes the world go around, it makes the world go round. A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound, a buck or a pound, a buck or a pound, is all that makes the world go around, that clinking-clanking sound can make the world go round. If you happen to be rich und you feel like a night's entertainment you can pay for a gay escapade If you happen to be rich und alone und you need a companion you can ring (ting-a-ling) for the maid If you happen to be rich und you find you are left by your lover und you moan und you groan quite a lot you can take it on the chin, call a cab and begin to recover on your fourteen-carat yacht! What? Money makes the world go around, the world go around, the world go around. Money makes the "..." go around folks are sure on being poor! Money, money, money x4 Money, money, money, money When you haven't any coal in your stove and you freeze in the winter and you curse to the wind at your face when you haven't any shoes on your feet, your toes in this paper and you look thirty pounds underweight when you go to get a word of advice from the fat little pastor he will tell you to love evermore but when hunger comes to rap, rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat at the window at the window – who's there? – hunger! – oh, hunger! see how love flies out the door! Money makes the world go around, the world go around, the world go around. Money makes the world go around, the clinking-clanking sound of Money, money, money, money x2 Get a little x2 Money, money, money, money a mark, a yen, a buck or a pound that clinking, clanking, clunking sound is all that makes the world go around it makes the world go round!
