When I was a boy

I never played with toys

Never had a friend

Never laughed or cried much

And when I was a boy

My father was a man

With a strict and sturdy hand

No soft touch



Make that money, make that money

Make that money run like honey

On your tongue

Gotta make that money

Make that money, listen sonny

Learn to sting before your stung



Now that I'm a man

Every penny has been planned

I'm financially grand

And perfectly greedy

Sentimental fools

I make all your rules

I've got your cash, got your jewels

They're all mortgaged to me



Make that money, make that money

Make that money run like honey

On your tongue

Gotta make that money

Make that money, listen sonny

Learn to sting before your stung



And I know

'Cause he told me so

Told me soI believe him

I still believe...

Give me that money



Controlling all your cash

I could make you live in trash

I eat pheasant, you eat hash

No philanthropy

But when it's time for me to croak

Bury me with all my dough

And where there should've been an oak

My private money tree will grow



Make that money

Said make that money

Make that money run like honey

On your tongue



Told me so

Told me so

He told me so
