Money 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. 

mark, a yen, a buck or a pound, 
а 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, 
and you feel like a night's entertainment, 
You can pay for a [bad word] escapade. 
If you happen to be rich, 
and alone and you need [bad word]  
You can ring ting-a-ling for the maid. 
If you happen to be rich 
and you find you are left by your lover, 
Though you moan and you groan quite a lot, 
You can take it on the chin, 
call a cab and begin 
to recover on your fourteen carat yacht. 

Money makes the world go around, 
the world go around, the world go around, 
Money makes the world go around, 
of that we both are sure. 
On being poor. 

When you haven't any coal in the stove 
and you freeze in the winter 
And you curse to the wind at your fate. 
When you haven't any shoes on your feet 
and your coat's thin as 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 [bad word] to rap, 
rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, at the window 
(Who's there? 
hunger oh, hunger!) 
See how love flies out the door. 

For money makes the world go around, 
the clinking, clanking sound of 
Money, money, money, money, 
Money, money, money, money, 
Get a little, get a little, 
Money, money, money, money, 
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound, 
That clinking, clanking, clunking sound 
is all that makes the world go round, 
It makes the world go round.
