Cash cold, that's what I need These bill collectors, they ring my phone (ring-a-ling-a-ling) They bother me when I'm not at home Ain't go no time to be fooling round Feet touch the floors and I get on down, you see
Chorus: I want money, lots and lots of money I want the pie in the sky I want money, lots and lots of money So don't be asking me why I wanna be rich, oh I wanna be rich, oh I wanna be rich, oh I wanna be rich, oh
Full of love, peace and happiness
I want my cake, wanna eat it too I want the stars and the silver moon I spend my money on lottery My favorite number is 1, 2, 3, you see
Chorus
Everyway rich Love, peace and happiness
I want all the things that lovers do A pocketful of dreams come true Even things you can not find Want you by my side That keep you satisfied and rich
Here is what you gonna do Say oh, I say uh, huh Got to be baby I just wanna be rich I just wanna be, just wanna be
Chorus
Be rich, I wanna be rich I know what I mean, baby Everyday and everyway Play baby, there is lots for everyone
