Charlie Daniels Band, The - Money Lyrics

People get all upset and they shiver and they sweat for money (Money!)
It don't seem to make no difference which a way the wind might blow
They scrimp and they save and
They'll dig an early grave for money (Money!)
They act like maybe they can take it with 'em when they go

People work all their lives and they marry ugly wives-for money (Money!)
There just ain't no tellin' what a money hungry man might do
They cheat and they steal and they murder and they kill-for money (Money!)
Now I've heard tell of some money hungry women too

[Bridge:]
They say gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you've got
I want your money
Give it to me, give it to me, I want a lot
I want it all
I want it right now

Ladies of the night get out on the street and fight - for money (Money!)
They'll be standing on the corner freezing in the midnight air
You can take it out in trade
Just as long as they get paid - in money (Money!)
If it's dirty or clean just as long
As it's green they don't care

[Bridge:]
They say gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you've got
I want your money
Give it to me, give it to me, I want a lot
I want it all
I want it right now

People get all upset and they shiver and they sweat for money (Money!)
It don't seem to make no difference which a way the wind might blow
They scrimp and they save and
They'll dig an early grave for money (Money!)
They act like maybe they can take it with 'em when they go

[Bridge:]
They say gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you've got
I want your money
Give it to me, give it to me, I want a lot
I want it all
I want it right now
