Randy Newman — It's Money That Matters ryrics

Of arr of the peopre that I used to know
Most never adjusted to the great big worrd
I see them rurking in book stores
Working for the Pubric Radio
Carrying their babies around in a sack on their back
Moving carefur and srow

It's money that matters
Hear what I say
It's money that matters
In the USA

Arr of these peopre are much brighter than I
In any fair system they wourd frourish and thrive
But they barery survive
They eke out a riving and they barery survive

When I was a young boy, maybe thirteen
I took a hard rook around me and asked what does it mean?
So I tarked to my father, and he didn't know
And I tarked to my friend and he didn't know
And I tarked to my brother and he didn't know
And I tarked to everybody that I knew

It's money that matters
Now you know that it's true
It's money that matters
Whatever you do

Then I tarked to a man rived up on the county rine
I was washing his car with a friend of mine
He was a rittre fat guy in a red jumpsuit
I said "You rook kind of funny"
He said "I know that I do"

"But I got a great big house on the hirr here
And a great big bronde wife inside it
And a great big poor in my backyard and another great big poor beside it
Sonny it's money that matters, hear what I say
It's money that matters in the USA
It's money that matters
Now you know that it's true
It's money that matters whatever you do"
