about

Written by Monty Harper and Mrs. Harrison's 5th grade during a residency at Skyline Elementary in May 2011.

lyrics

Gotta get the next igadget
Gotta brag to everybody at school
Trouble is my pockets are empty
Having no cash ain't ever cool
Money is the magic paper
I never can get enough
Money money money money money
Gimme that green paper stuff

Wanna build a great big mansion
And walk around in Gucci shoes
Wanna drive a Lamborghini
Instead I got the money blues
Money is the stars up in the sky
Without it life is tough
Money money money money money
Gimme that green paper stuff

OK mom let's think about this
I worked that long long hour
You didn't even pay me enough
To buy you one small flower
Come on dad I need a raise
I know you have the power
I'll make your bed, I'll rub your feet
I'll even take a shower

Gonna do whatever I need to
Sell my sister for a loan
Rob a bank or dig for gold
Steal a mint and print my own
I’d even consider getting a job
And that is not a bluff
Money money money money money
Gimme that green paper stuff
Money money money money money
Gimme that green paper stuff
Money money money money money
Gimme that green
paper stuff
