A Song About Money Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Jack Gloyens

[Written for piano]

WASHINGTON: My boy I think it's about time you learnt the rules of business.
CLEVELAND: But dad, I wanna go to art school!
WASHINGTON: What nonsense! Why the American Dream is founded entirely on
man's desire for more money, it's a part of our history...

[A/E]Rockerfeller, a [Adim/Eb]clever fella;[D] a billionaire, se[A/C#]lf-made
[D]Vanderbilt with the [A/C#]tracks he built has [E]really made the [A]grade
[A/E]Henry Ford, now [Adim/Eb]he can afford [D]10 homes all thanks [A/C#]to cars
[D]Three proud rich A[A/C#]mericans who [E]all reached for the [A]stars

Hard[Dm]work and dedi[Am/C]cation [E7/B]led them to suc[Am]ceed
But [Dm]who on Earth's got [Am/C]time for that? Who [E7]wants to sweat [Asus4/F#]and [E7]bleed?

CLEVELAND: But if not through hardwork and dedication then how?
WASHINGTON: Well I'll tell you how

Step [A]one[A/E] ; you buy [E7/B]lots of [E7]stock
Step [A]two[A/E] ; you buy a [Bm7]whole lot [E7]more
Step [A]three: now [A/E]just sit [E7/B]back, re[E7]lax, [D]let it grow, [D]yes watch [B7/Eb]it [E7]soar
Step [A]five [four] [A/E]four! now [E7/B]here's the [E7]best part
[A] The grand fin[A/E]ale you've been [Bm7]waiting [E7]for
[A]Take the winnings, [C#dim/G]cash it out, you'll [D/F#]make a million, [Dm/F]have no doubt
[E7]that's what business... is all about!

[A] [A/E] [E7/B] [E7]
[A] [A/E] [E7/B] [E7]
[A] [A/E] [E7/B] [E7]
[A] [A/E] [E7]

CLEVELAND: I don't know, Dad. All this talk of the stock market and shares, I find it very confusing.
WASHINGTON: It's simple, son, the more shares you have, the more money you make.
CLEVELAND: Well how many shares have you got?
WASHINGTON: I'm glad you asked...

I've got a [D]dozen [D/A]hundred [D]dollars [D/A]dipped in
[A/C#]DeBeers [A]Diamonds, [A/C#]DuPont and [A]Dobell
A con[D]siderable [D/A]cost in [D]Crane and [D/A]Co.,
The [E7]Colgate [E7/B]Company and [E7]Cadillac [E7/B]Cars
I [D]matched that [D/A]mass of [D]money [D/A]made in
[A/C#]Macy's [A]for their [A/C#]grand par[A]ades
And [D]now I [D/A]have so [D]much to [D/A]spend
I [E7]spend it [E7/B]all on [E7/B]Swiss ci[E7]gars

WASHINGTON: Oh sing it with me, son!

Step [A]one[A/E] ; [E7/B] [E7]
I buy lots of stock
Step [A]two[A/E] ; [Bm7] [E7]
I buy a whole lot more
Step [A]three[A/E] ; [E7/B] [E7]
I just sit back, relax?
Yes! [D]Let it grow [B7/Eb]and [E7]watch it soar!
Step [A]five
four?
[A/E]Four! now [E7/B]here's the [E7]best part
[A] The grand fi[A/E]nale you've been [Bm7]waiting [E7]for
[Together] [A]Take the winnings, [C#dim/G]cash it out, you've [D/F#]done your bidding so [Dm/F]have no doubt
[E7]That's what business...
[E7]That's what business...
[E]That's what business...
is all a[A]bou[C#dim/G]t! [C] [C] [Bm7/D] [A]
