Re: "It's Money"

Here is a little waltz about that stuff that would be in your pocket if you didn't spend all your time goofing around with your guitar and singing songs . . . all the odd words are various currencies from around the world.

It's Moneyby, James McCormick, April 26, 2007


In 3/4 time, a slow monetary waltz




[C]Rich folk are eccentric, the [F]poor folk just [C]loons


When [C]you got the cash you can call the [G]tune


If you [C]ain't in the black in the [F]red you will [C]drown


It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


. . .


You [F]might be plumb crazy or foolish or [C]smart


Or [F]maybe you're just a cranky old [G]fart


You [C]might be a saint or a [F]silly old [C]clown


But it's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


[Bb]Ducats, [F]Florins, [C]Shillings and Drams


[Bb]Rubles, [F]Rials, and [C]Gold Krugerands


[Bb]Kronas, [F]Kwachas, [C]Kwanzas and Leu


[Bb]Qirans and [F]Quetzals and [C]Zlotys will do


[C]Paper or plastic, [F]silver or [C]gold


[C]Some money's new and some money's [G]old


In-[C]herited, earned, or dug [F]up from the [C]ground


It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


. . .


[F]Salary, wage, or government [C]dole


[F]Money that's earned, money that's [G]stole


Do-[C]mestic or foreign, rec-[F]tangular or [C]round


It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


[Bb]Rupees, [F]Riechsmark, [C]Rai Stones, and Yen


[Bb]Tugrug, [F]Budju, [C]Sheqels and Wen


[Bb]Cupon, [F]Cruzeiro, [C]Dollars and Dong


[Bb]Pengo, [F]Peseta, [C]Euros and Yuan



It [C]costs to get married and then [F]more to di-[C]vorce


It [C]costs to get sick and get better of [G]course


It [C]costs to relax if you're [F]too tightly [C]wound


It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


. . .


It'll [F]cost you to park and it'll cost you to [C]drive


You'll [F]pay as you go and when you ar-[G]rive


You'll [C]pay through the nose and [F]pay by the [C]pound


It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


[Bb]Drachma, [F]Dobra, [C]Escudo, Dinar


[Bb]Lira, [F]Livre, [C]Baht, Nahar


[Bb]Obol, [F]Nakfa, [C]Ouguiya, Kroon


[Bb]Lilangeni, [F]Ngultrum, [C]Inca and Hwan


It [C]costs to get buried and it [F]costs to get [C]born


It [C]costs to stay cool and it costs to stay [G]warm


That [C]life is expensive is [F]not so pro-[C]found


It's [C]money that makes this old [G]world go a-[C]round


. . .


Oh [F]Moolah and bucks, cold cash is [C]nice


[F]Anythings possible, just name the [G]price


In-[C]vest it or save, or [F]blow it on a [C]spree


'The [C]Man' will get paid, no [G]lunch is for [C]free


[Bb]Money [F]makes the [C]world go around


[Bb]Money [F]makes the [G]world go a-[C]round
