Piece above the fireplace
For which they paid a mint
Polish it so I can see myself in the silver finish print
Plant a tree
Watch it grow
Cut it down to size
See the chest is hollow
Profit by all means
And cover my eyes
To be Money
Harlequin mobile
Above the cradle turns
Lesson one, it’s the first true thing that the little baby learns
Lead, the rest will follow
Say I love you
I don’t mean it See the chest is hollow
Profit by all means and cover my eyes
To be Money
To be Money
And in my hands there lies a smoking tommy gun
And you hold your pistol high, a finger and a thumb
Shows you can’t even fantasize a thing that fires
More than one by one
The rest will
Say I love you
They don’t mean it The chest is hollow
Profit by all means and cover my eyes
To be Money
To be Money
(la la la…)
