John Miles with Alan Parsons
Money don't grow on a money tree
The more you take, the less for me.
Money don't buy what you really need
It make an iceman cry,
It makes a stoneman bleed.

But when you get right down to it,
No matter who you are it rules your life
Like a virgin queen.
One day you might get over it,
But in the mean time
It rules the world like a green machine.

In a bank, in a box
Money talks.
In the black, on the rocks,
Money talks.
Money talks.

Money don't lose in the money game,
Drags you down like a ball and chain.
So money don't come with a guarantee
It make a fool of you,
It make a fool of me.

But when you get right down to it
No matter what you say it ties you down
But it can set you free.
Some day you might get over it
But in the meantime
It burns you up, in the first degree.
Moscow, Bangkok,
Money talk.
Park Lane, Board Walk,
Money talk.

But when you get right down to it
No matter what you try you deal the cards,
Give the wheel a spin.
One day you might get over it
But everybody knows it's heads you lose
And it's tails they win.

Don't have too much to show for it
That's the way it goes, you roll the dice
And they cash you in.

Pinball, jukebox,
Money talks.
Redskins, White Sox,
Money talks.
Billboard, Cashbox,
Money talks.
