MONEY (THAT'S WHAT I WANT) (By Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford, 1963. Sung by John. Words that are in parenthesis are background voices)

The best things in life are free

but you can keep 'em for the birds nad bees

now give me money (that's what I want)

that's what I want (that's what I want)

that's what I want, yeah, that's what I want.

 

Your love give me such a thrill

but your loving don't pay my bills

now give me money (that's what I want)

that's what I want (that's what I want)

that's what I want, yeah, that's what I want.

 

Money don't get everything is true

what it don'e get I can't use

now give me money (that's what I want)

that's what I want (that's what I want)

that's what I want yeah, that's what I want.

 

(Piano solo)

 

Well, now give me money (that's what I want)

a lotta money

oh yeah I wanna be free!

a lotta money (that's what I want)

that's what I want (that's what I want)

Well now give me money

a lotta monay

oh yeah you don't need money

oh now give me money that's what I want

that's what I want yeah

that's what I want.
