I Wanna Be Rich Songtext
von Manfred Mann

Money - I could buy me all the things I want to buy
Anything that took a fancy to my eye
Money - how I love the feel of money in my hand
But it runs through all my fingers just like sand

Here it comes now
Money, money, I want a lot (money)
I want a lot more money than I′ve got (money)
Money, money, I want a lot (money)
I want a lot more money than I've got (money)

I wanna be rich
What′s worth living for if you're gonna stay poor?
I wanna be rich
To live like a king would mean everything to me (everything to me, everything)
Na na na, alright, ho


Money - and then I could live my life the easy way
And not break my back working every day now
Money - how I hate to think this feeling I feel is greed
But the more I get, the more I seem to need now

Here it comes now
Money, money, I want a lot (money)
I want a lot more money than I've got (money)
Money, money, I want a lot (money)
I want a lot more money than I′ve got (money)

I wanna be rich
What′s worth living for if you're gonna stay poor?
I wanna be rich
To live like a king would mean everything to me (mean everything to me, mean everything)

Ah, can′t you see?
I gotta have a lot, lotta money, baby
Now, now, now, now I want more money
To buy me all things I always wanted to buy, buy
Like a house and a car or a television set
