goes away, we all pray and say amen. Til tomorrow when it all begins,

Karaoke- Flying Lizards – Money (karaoke)
James: The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
Your love is such a thrill
But your love won't pay the bills
I need money
That's what I need
That's what I need
That's what I need
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
I want money
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want
I want money
I want lots of money
In fact, I want so much money
Give me some money
Just give me money
