    My baby gives me the finance blues
    Tax me to the limit of my revenues
    Here she come finger popping clickety click
    She says "furs or diamonds, you can take your pick"

    She wants money
    (what she wants)
    She wants money
    (what she wants)
    She wants money
    (what she wants)
    She wants money
    (what she wants)
    Money, money, money, money, money
    Money, money, money, money, money

    She says "Money, honey", I'd rob a bank
    I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank
    Knocking off my neighbourhood savings and loan
    To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de Cologne

    Mama, don't send me down to rob that bank again
    I got a notion you're leading me to sin
    Won't you relax, won't you lay way back
    Don't you bug your honey about no Cadillac
    It's only bucks, you don't need no jack
    So won't you please relax and lay way back

    My baby's loving gives me such a thrill
    It gives me inspiration making counterfeit bills
    Now some folks say the best things in life are free
    I sure don't get no loving living honestly

    Lord made a lady out of Adam's rib
    Next thing you know you got women's lib
    Lovely to look upon, heaven to touch
    It's a real shame they got to cost so much

    Recorded for "Mars Hotel" but only ever played live a few times before it was dropped. It was originally called "Finance Blues" - and that remains the title in Barlow's lyric collection. But it was retitled "Money Money" on the album.
