Money, Money, Money

Money, Money, Money is the villain song of Brutus, sung in the 1976 Rankin/Bass Christmas special The Little Drummer Boy, Book II.

Lyrics

 * (Spoken) You know there were days
 * When money did not exist
 * (Spoken) No Money!?!
 * (Spoken) What did they used to buy things?
 * When they invented money
 * They invented greed
 * Now we're no longer trading
 * For all the things we need


 * I give you an egg
 * And get some butter back
 * Now I give you a coin
 * For all the things I lack
 * Hey!


 * I give you a pig
 * And get a sack of wheat
 * Now I give you some gold
 * When I desire to eat
 * Hey!


 * I give you a hat
 * And get a pair of shoes
 * Now there's no more of that
 * You pay for what you use


 * Money, money, money
 * Makes you poor or makes you rich
 * Money, money, money
 * It's the gold and silver itch
 * Money, money, money
 * Makes you poor or makes you rich
 * Money, money, money
 * It's the gold and silver itch


 * Would you take an egg
 * And give some butter back?
 * No I'd prefer a coin
 * For anything you lack
 * Hey!


 * Would you take a pig
 * If I gave you some wheat?
 * No I would like some gold
 * If you would like to eat
 * Hey!


 * I'll give you a hat
 * If you give me some shoes
 * Now there's no more of that
 * You pay for what you use


 * Money, money, money
 * Makes you poor or makes you rich
 * Money, money, money
 * It's the gold and silver itch
 * Hey!
 * Money, money, money
 * Makes you poor or makes you rich
 * Money, money, money
 * It's the gold and silver itch
