Money Talks

You can say what you like, I know you love me.
I’m loved ... internationally.
Internationally loved,
And I got more power, more power than –
All the people and all the weather put together.
Yuh. I screw everyone. Ask anyone.
‘Who screws you?’ ‘Money screws me.’
I screwed ’em all. Internationally.
And you, I, I know you love me
And you better, you better love me a lot
Or I’ll just leave you, yuh, just walk out like that,
Yuh. I happen to be
The famous all-time international screwing champion
So you better love me. Better show a little ... respect.
